Which is better?

Need some professional opinion here. I am a firm believer in Renaissance Wax and use it on all my knives. A friend suggested that I use silicone spayed on a rag and wipe down any high carbon blades instead of Ren Wax. Is that better for preventing rust from forming? Any info is greatly appreciated.
