Good luck finding generally available carauba wax. Most of the waxes you find that say they are pure carauba wax have several additives to make them easier to apply and to allow them to relatively easy to polish out. The only pure carauba wax I've ever seen is fiberglass mold release wax and it's very hard, difficult to apply and harder yet to buff out, but it's durable and damage resistant.
