ok so my compressor belt was squeaking so I bought belt conditioner as it clamed to stop belts from squeaking, so i sprayed it on, and decided to spray all the belts.... Now, THEY ALL SQUEAK, ALL THE TIME!! its so embarrassing! What can I do?

 

Get new belts?

 

lol yes, new belts, how will belt dressing help anything? a belt is squeeking because it is worn, not because it needs some type of lube lol

 

How easy is it to put on new belts? Is it something that could be done in an hour?
Also approx cost of belts?

 

Spray the belt and pullies off with brake cleaner, install new belts if the squeel persists.

 

also being too tight can cause belts to squeak

 

Still don't know why people put any spray on their vehicle belts. It doesn't matter what the can says when your spray the belt with something it will cause the belt to slip more than what it already is. When a belt does start to squeal then just spend the $ and buy a new one.

 

yeah cost less than a tow when the belt finally goes

 

With help from the car wash spray gun, hot soap and dish soap and a sponge... It's gone

 

For what it's worth the belt conditioner isn't for serpintine belts.

The original fix more than likely would have been to tension the belt a bit more unless it was that badly worn/glazed.

 

It said it was ok to use on serp belts, but yeah,
