Garden Hose End Protection From Corrosion or Lime Scale

[flowerbug]

anyone have any good ideas what might work well for this? i'm thinking of vaseline because that is what i have on hand... motor oil i also have. hmm, maybe i do have some plumbing grease, probably should use that instead.

we did buy a few new hoses this spring so i need to hook them up today... no idea why i haven't thought of asking about this here before or even talking about it.

ah yes, this will do:

Danco Inc, waterproof grease, stk no 84042, probably 30+ yrs old. looks fine. might even be vaseline... lol would be funny if it is...

surprised i could find it but i just came across it a few weeks ago and told myself to put it with my other water related stuff...

Also, I bought 3 of these in the last few years. I have my hose attached to it instead of the faucet.
