I can wire brush them no sweat, but after that - is there something I can put on the threads/washers/metal parts that would either help its electrical connection, keep things clean inside or just make me feel better that I tried to clean up the grounds ?

I have a small assortment of chemicals in my garage, including any number of petroleum distillates (motor oil, xmsn oil, fork oil, 2-stroke oil, WD40...) Silver Anti-seize, copper RTV gasket maker, powdered graphite lubricant, wheel bearing grease, brake pad anti squeal, a few different types of greases, water, simple green, brake cleaner, B12chemtool carb dip (!).

I've heard of dedicated dielectric grease, but:
a) I dont want a dieelectric, I want it to conduct
b) I dont have any of that on hand anyway.


Any thoughts on what to smear on electrical connections ? (including fuse blades)
