which I have. I use it on all friction connections that I don't have to take apart often (or at all). Cramolin red and blue work well also but cost a fortune; I use those on audio connections that I have to repatch where grease would be messy. The silicone works very well subjected to the heat and high voltages of an auto electrical connection, and works just as well to prevent corrosion in audio applications. Purists may say it's too cheap to work well. Balderdash.

Not knocking it at all. It's great to protect against the elements, - driver 16:14:16 12/16/02 (0)
but on my stereo system I prefer to just clean contacts with the likes of AQ Ultraconnect 2. I just feel any kind of grease is too slimy to use on my gear, especially at points where I'm most likely to change connections, i.e, IC's & PC's.
But hey, I was just offering up opinion on my extensive use of dielectric grease. Of course, in this, like any other audio application, YMMV.
Cheers!
