    You need an anti-oxidant paste. It comes in several flavors - NoAlOx, 
Penetrox, etc. - by several different companies. Just check the label that 
it's for your materials (most are copper, aluminum, or copper/aluminum) and 
go nuts.

    Many hardware stores and all electrical supply houses have them.
