That's probably true- what I've got is Minwax Paste Wax- which I'm
sure is not pure carnuba, or even particularly high-end. But it's all
I could find locally, and I wasn't too worked up about finding it
online when I bought the stuff.

After seeing how long a can lasts, I'll probably make the effort of
finding better wax when this stuff is gone.
