[DML] Re: How can I protect my connector plugs?

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Steve - I believe that the best option is dielectric grease.  That's 
what I use on Winged1, and also on all my other cars.  I don't know 
about a magic spray-on treatment to last twenty years, but I haven't 
had any further electrical contact corrosion issues in several years 
since starting to use this material.  The best treatment seems to be 
to thoroughly clean all connections with emery cloth and electrical 
contact cleaner, and then apply a light smear of the dielectric 
grease.  Other folks on the List might have their own preferences, 
so you can consider this to be my own personal favorite.

a paste like substance that will help keep my connections from 
needing a cleaning once every 20 or so years? I hoping there is 
something like the Blue Stuff that you used to spray on TV tuners 
years ago.  Is the spray used for batteries to prevent corrosion a 
possibility?
