    Question Reason Poorboys spell Carnuaba wrong?

    Couldn`t help to notice on my bottle of EX that Carnuaba is spelled Carnuba. Im curious if theres a reason why Steve mispelled carnuaba or if it just slipped by him and the labeling process??? It`s also mispelled on the Poorboys website along with PwC. Can you tell i`m bored and its been raining ALL day and will continue this week??

    Do we get any free products for finding typo`s on product labels?
    i found a typo on another product after the detailing day. I think it was on the back directions of Trim Restorer

    Don`t mean to hijack this thread but I was over on the Meguiar`s board and noticed that MFM was more active today than he has been recently. Guess he`s gotta find some place to share all this knowledge.
