Wouldn't seem to me that waxing/polishing would yield much. In fact, it
might add slip.

As long as the leading and trailing edges are clean, and the blades are true
and balanced, you shouldn't worry about it.

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
