Finally convinced a 20 year vet that belt dressing is a scam

I used to spray belt dressing on every noisy elevator I serviced up in Seattle, thinking it was standard practice. After a mentor showed me the buildup it causes on traction sheaves and how it actually makes belts slip more over time, I stopped using it completely. Any of you guys still using the stuff or have you found a better way to silence a squeaky belt?

I mean, belt dressing isn't totally a scam, it's just almost never the right fix.

Ngl @henry_martin56 you're spot on. Tried that stuff once on an old car and it just made a mess everywhere. Honesty belt dressing is like a bandaid for a broken leg.
