Any automotive store likely has it way cheaper. Permatex is one brand,
they call theirs 'Spark Plug Boot & Electrical Connection' Dielectric
Grease they sell in little $2.00 packets. There are other brands also
that just say Spark plug boot protector.
The stuff that gets sold in a 'specialty' shop is usually way more
expensive.
