Is belt dressing legit? Waste of money?
Ran into this stuff at the dealer.
If a belt is squealing and/or slipping it needs to be replaced, not sprayed with this gunk.
Snake oil bunk.
I have never heard of that, and therefore never use it; then again I walk past all those shelves full of dubious products that are competing for your hard-earned money. This is at the dealership, too, so even worse.
I had some time to kill while waiting for a car to be serviced. And was just meandering the aisles of the parts department.
I was SHOCKED to see it. And I’ve walked down these aisles tons of times too, never really paying attention.
I am surprised at the dealership those cans don’t literally say “Snake Oil” on them. I can see a meme or spoof on that.
Haha.
seems it's for obsolete neoprene belts (?)

Maybe! Hell if I know.
FWIW, they were collecting dust on the bottom shelf. Everything else on the top shelf seemed in higher demand and turnover.
