Kim,
You will get several suggestions on this.  I use Penetrox.  Used it on aluminum 
antenna element joints for years.  Does a great job of preventing corrosion and 
preserving the aluminum.  I have taken apart yagis that have been up for over 
20 years and the exterior of the aluminum tubes were corroded, naturally, but 
the internal mating surfaces where the penetrox was used were shiny and bright, 
like new.  I first started using it years ago on KLM antennas, they provided a 
tube with their antennas, and still use it.DX engineering has it

When assembling Al -to-Al junctions in an Antenna, what anti-corrosion compound 
should be used at the joints?
