Quick question,
is car wax carnauba wax the same as any other carnauba wax? Cause i found a thing of Mothers car wax in my garage that has CARNAUBA WAX real big on the outside.
Thanks,
Zach Klein

Re: Wax!?
Definitely not. You want pure caranuba wax for pipes (ie a hard block of wax applied to a buffing wheel). Car wax has a lot more than that in it.

Re: Wax!?
Now, what about Johnson's floor wax? It's good for wood. Wouldn't it be good for pipes?
I tried auto carnauba and it just made my pipe smoke too fast and made me sing "Working at the car wash", virtually all day.

I also read somewhere that surfboard wax are made from carnauba. Suppose I can try for surfing if pipemaking doesn't work out..
