Quick question about using dielectric grease.  I am cleaning ground connections and will be putting on dielectric grease for the first time (at least by me).  I read that it does not conduct so to not get any on the mating surfaces.  So, is the proper use to clean the connection, reconnect, and then coat the external area with the grease?  Would you also coat the battery terminals after cleaning and reconnecting?  Anything else?

Thanks
