[Konstantine Bogach]

When I discovered this stuff I used it on every contact until...
turning the key did not start the car; everything looked liked bad battery; wiped out this stuff from battery terminal, connected it back and - vuala, car started easily. I applied this dialectric grease to the terminal several monthg before it happened.  It scared me away but more experimenting is required. Since that happened I removed the grease from every place I put it on.
Huw's 6 years long experience has definitly more weight but, I think every result should be accounted for better statistics.
