I can't think of the product name, but there is a reddish spray you can
put on the terminals to help prevent corrosion. In the past, I have used
those little felt pads which worked pretty well, too.

That's what I was thinking too. I just moved to St Augustine FL 6 months ago and I've had to clean my negative battery terminal three times since I moved.
Including this morning!
Damn car didn't start again!
