Hello.I was out running some errands today in my husband's car, one of which was to stop at Sears and have them put a new battery in it.The guy had just installed the battery and I told him 'Don't put any of that purple slimy stuff on the posts.' He assured me that they didn't even use the stuff.I turned to throw a coke can in the trash and at that moment he sprayed a bunch of yellow slimy stuff all over the posts of the battery.It's like he thought that the purple color was what I found objectionable.For once, I was completely at a loss for words, so I just went home and cleaned the stuff up.

The yellow slimy stuff is a dielectric corrosion inhibitor. What's the objection to it?

Personally, I think it's really messy and funky looking and I really, really don't like to see it when I pop the hood, and since I clean the posts and cables on a regular basis, especially in hubby's car, since, if he breaks his he gets to drive mine while I fix his, it really isn't needed.Here's the motor of my 42 year old car and I don't think it needs any slimy goo on the battery.
maybe he was color blind lol. i mean i am partly colorblind but i can still tell purple and yellow but you never know.

Thank you. Nobody touches that car but me.I dragged it out the barn it had sat in 25 years.I built the motor, tranny and rear end.I painted the car.I fluffed up the interior.Nobody touches my car but me.It was my husband's car that went to Sears. That's why my battery looks like this and his doesn't.

I guess I need to speak more slowly or something.

It's like that actually made sense to him.
