To minimize creating preservation folk-lore by repetition and/or anecdotal testimonials, there have been attempts to review various consumer products to find the most effective. Here's one:

Comprehensive Corrosion Test: 46 Products Compared | Day At The Range

However, their tested-best product was only declared winner after 168 hours. That's only a week of corrosive test days. Thus, it's up to you how you want to address maintenance; by re-application or a back-to-basic refinishing regiment to restore it to a particular "look". The above test included a corrosion test on a static, non-moving piece of metal.

Airplane props blow air. They typically rotate at 2500-3000 rpm, but can be subject to more corrosive ambient conditions than an engine fan blade. Barrier coatings, thermal or cold sprays should last longer in a prop's harsher environment. An answer might be in this Google search: "What protective coating on airplane propellers?"
