Default need help with rod end steel washers

I built up the control stick assembly early on in the fuse building and set aside as per the instructions. I try to put all the hardware together for finding easier later on. Now a year later I pull the assembly of the shelf and the little steel washer/spacers pn 5702-75-60 that go with the rod ends have a layer of corrosion on them. I will clean them up but am thinking the need some type of grease to keep it from happening again. I assume this is going to be part of the condition inspection to lubricate the rod ends. What is everybody doing/ using in this area?

Thanks

A lot of us use LPS-2. You don't want to go crazy and squirt this stuff all over as it only takes a little, but even at that enough will "spill" over onto those little washers to protect them.
