Ok, Yeah I know the one you mean. Normally a white compound.
I will wait until I get to a larger town or Kurt comes up at easter time, lol.
Might check the local garage as he may have something in stock.
Surprised me over the years what parts and gear they have on hand.
Thanks.

White IN MY WORLD is for HEAT dissipation and a cloning of two surfaces & has contraction materials , while SDG or CLEAR Silicone Dielectric  Grease is NON contraction of elements ..
It's a @&%@ to clean up after & could cause sparks

Just an update. got some of the clear silicone dielectric grease and have used it on all terminals.
The dielectric grease Kurt bought up is an opque colour and I used it on my sons system to see if there is any difference.
It is a heavier grease and was supplied by exide batteries.
