I use Contralube,a bit pricey,but bloody excellent.Its used on boats and stuff so you know it'll be good.I've used it on connectors for Ronbox,it doesn't interfere with electrical signals at all.
Cant recommend it highly enough
I don't work for them or have any interests in the company.

Funnily enough I was just looking at that. Can use it directly on the contacts?

I know its pricey,but you only use a little bit to do the job,what you don't use don't go off so it'll last you a lifetime.
The spray stuff for your HT leads is just sold as ignition sealer my tin is holts nasty stuff just a thing plastic type coating. As for any other electrical contacts no need for fancy stuff std silicone grease is a dielectric so wont conduct. Used to use it on boats but never used any on the fancy ecu multi plugs you find in your engine bay but no reason it shouldnt work.

You can't put silicone on plug surfaces but you can with contralube. It doesn't affect the electrics at all, apart from keeping them dry, brilliant stuff

Vaseline inside or out is fine

if it melts it just flows in connector until it solidifies again. not a problem. contact surfaces are not affected.
Ok that's pretty good how long it typically last before re applying?
