and tend to cause more problems from frequent use than they avoid. Some belt dressings apply a sticky film that coats the belt and pulleys and attacts dirt and grime. Others use solvents to 'soften' the belt, but they don't last long and the belt suffers from the treatment.
I prefer to change the belt and pulleys every 60,000 miles or so and stay away from belt drressings.
