Brother in law came to visit for the holidays. Brought me a Canauba Wax from Brazil.

And then he said it is pronounce "car-na-ooh-bah" not "car-noo-bah".

Who knew ?

There’s a more fancy, European way of pronouncing Souveran too but I continue to pronounce it the American, phonetic way.
 
I thought it was more like car-now-bahh or car-nah-bahh.
 
Ahhh, just nuba

My cats nickname is “Naba” which kinda reminds me of Carnauba.Lol.

She did some weird sh!t today... While I was changing the tire, she casually walked to the front of my car and sprayed/peed on my front license plate and bumper! I was like what the hell are you doing?! Later I noticed she also peed on that trunk matt she’s in the picture with... Stupid cat.lol.

She got a good little scolding. All I got back was a dumb look. Lol.

You think cat pee really smells? I’ve got a bad sense of smell when it comes to certain things. I didn’t smell anything... It was only a little trickle on the matt. She let off a stream on my bumper though, I immediately wiped in down with some WG Uber.
 
I don’t have any animals so I can’t comment about the odor but I see so many products on the market that supposedly get out pee.

I’ll give it a quik scrub with APC and spray some Ozium in there. The trunk stays empty anyways.
 
Chuck from Zymol pronounces it "kar-naw-ba".
 
Since you asked who knew about the correct pronunciation... I did. I'm from Brazil so of course I can say it right but since we're in a different country I never got mad when people said it wrong. Hell, I think when I'm speaking to another person here I'll say it incorrectly just because that's how people say it here.

I lived in Campinas when I was a young boy. My sister's went to school in Sao Paulo. What a fantastic country!
 
I always thought it was pronounced "too much work".....lol

I’m from São Paulo. Moved to the US 13.5 years ago. Now I visit Brazil when possible but don’t want to go live there again.
