Maybe you should look at your alternator. You shouldn't be corroding your terminals that fast. If you're boiling the acid in the batteries you might have a bad regulator. I cleaned mine twice in the 10 yrs.I had the truck. Once when I finally replaced the batteries 3 yrs ago and once before that. I haven't had to clean mine yet. No sprays or felts. Just a coating of grease. It's been said that any kind of grease or Vaseline makes a flux and could solder your cable to your terminal if it gets loose and arcs heating it up to the melting point of the lead but I never had that happen since I started driving in 1972.Oh, new cables should have a plating on them, if you brushed that off and you're down to bare steel there's your biggest problem.
