I was trying to get some dielectric grease last year and found it hard to track down. Someone on another forum recommended Servisol silicone grease and I bought some on eBay. Since then I have been lathering it on every time I break apart a connector, covered the battery terminals and so on. Have I been using the wrong thing? On the tube it says:
  • high electrical insulaton
  • waterproofs/repels moisture
  • excellent lubricant
  • high temperature resistance

Good stuff, or wrong stuff?
