Prop speed has been around for along time, and there are many discussions on here about it.
I recently found out about the Prop Guard coating which is a ceramic coating and used extensively in other industries, and on boat propellers in the commercial fishing fleet.
Overall, it does not have widespread use. This may be due to the Fact that The application process can only be done in the shop, and requires a few days as opposed applying prop,speed in the yard.
I have talked to two commercial fisherman (100 ft. boats) that have used in the past 10 years, and they both had good things to say. But, that is about it, and I have not spoken to anyone who has applied it in the past few years.
Costs for both coating systems are similar, but I think the ceramic will last longer and could provide better protection.
Has anyone used this product or talked to people that have?
