Trailer Plug Corrosion

Those of us who pull trailers - you know how the electrical contacts in the trailor electrical plug gets corroded and turns green? What do you guys use to keep it from getting bad? I was thinking of jamming it full of that dialectric goo that is used in electronic systems! Anybody got a better idea?

battery terminal dressing... Lasts a long time and comes in a spray bottle.

Dielectric grease is all I ever use. I have never had a problem with a trailer connection.

Squirt WD-40 in door, tailgate, and cap latches, and trailer plug at each oil change.
