Basically my dad alloted my a certain amount of money to get a car, I got it for about 2600 or 2700 less than that, so he said I could spend money for mods and improvements... but ONLY IF HE APPROVES....
He knows I research EVERYTHING before I buy it... so I figured it was a no-brainer that he would support me buying a huge 100% cotton bath towel to preserve the paint of my car. I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond and spent 21.86 on a massive over-sized 100% cotton luxury towel. I figure "Heck, after I get done cutting this thing up it's like 2 bucks a towel or something" I get home... he doesn't like it! He won't use "the car fund" to support me buying it and insists baby diapers are just as good.
I told him over and over about how a towel has a nap, and about how it cushions dirt.... My mom chimed in and was like "we have baby diapers that are threadbare and worn... they are so soft"... I tell them over and over I've researched it and that if baby diapers were so good, then zaino would probably mention them on their site... I told him it's the wax that like 70% of this board uses (basically car-obsessed people lol) I told him it's what professional detailers use... so he goes online and finds a page that talks about a wax where they recommend diapers... and it is a wax I'd never even heard of... I was like "Dad, I've never heard of it... the guys on the boards don't talk about it.... why should I take what they have to say over what the most popular vendor has to say?"
Basically... I don't wanna blow 20 bucks on a towel if I don't have to, but if my dad will not let me purchase the towel from the car money... and they are, in fact, better for the car.... I'm just going to eat my loss and keep the towel.
Can anyone tell me anything they know on the topic? I want THE BEST for my paint... not "okay to save money." I tried to tell him that but he's pretty much resolved... I was hoping you all could either give me the solice that baby diapers are fine, or back me up and maybe help me change his mind or at least make me feel good about keeping the towel.
