Here's a picture of what you want courtesy of Martin Pajak. I'm  
pretty sure this is the Wurth stuff. http://www.quattro.ca/19874kq/

I never got a chance to reply to whomever posted that the stuff we  
are seeking is cosmoline. I know cosmoline and this isn't it.  
Cosmoline is much too soft. It's meant for coating bare metal  
machined parts so that they can be stored and shipped without  
rusting, not for use in engine bays and on suspension bits.
