SJ,

Welcome to GDC.

I had not heard of Pre-Lim. It is described as:

"A mildly abrasive creamy paste designed for non-scratch cleaning, stain removal and freshening of many surfaces, especially metals and enamels. Also used for ceramics, feathering repairs to china, air-brushed glazed surfaces. PRE-LIM produces a brilliant silky, smooth finish." It seems to be made by the same people

Ren Wax has no abrasives at all, just refined wax

Different products, I think.
