Not to rain on your parade, but dielectric grease is an INSULATOR. Yes, it will prevent further corrosion because it resists moisture, but unless a sound mechanical connection is made, you will not get any "connective help" from the grease.
I like to use CONDUCTIVE grease on the ground connectors. Unbolt the wire rings, clean up the metal mounting surfaces, and smear a little conductive grease on them. Not only will the connection resist corrosion, but those pesky electrons will "jump" to the chassis like nobody's business.
You can get conductive grease in the electrical department at Home Depot or other home or hardware stores. It is used in the home for joining aluminum wires.
DON'T pack multi-pin connectors with conductive grease for obvious reasons.
There, Dielectric is the way to go.
