Default Waxing a prop?

To the group,

Any benefit to polishing/waxing a propeller?

I'm a newby, and was wondering if a slippery (waxed) propeller is better
(more efficient).

Or is a non waxed one better, maybe allowing more 'bite'.

My intuition says that smoother is better, since propellers operate on a
water pressure difference (ahead and behind the prop) to create motion.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Ken
