Do any of you write up lack of antioxidant compound on the main lug connections?

Yes.

Both of the places I inspected so far didnt have it and I pointed it out. Are there different color compounds? I know there is a greyish one. Its that the only kind? One place had a clearer like substance on the lugs and it was drying up and cracking and flaking away. It almost looked like wheel bearing grease.

I've seen white, gray, amber, blue and red. There may be others.

Yes, that's typical. As I understand this stuff, it's not all that different from wheel-bearing grease.

BTW, there's no code requirement for anti-oxidant paste. I believe it's a manufacturer’s recommendation.
