To treat a squeaky alternator belt, you can use belt dressing spray. This non-slip spray helps reduce noise and prevent the belt from slipping. Make sure to apply it while the engine is off and the belt is stationary. Simply spray the belt lightly on the ribbed side, ensure even coverage, then start the engine to allow the belt dressing to spread evenly. Avoid over-application as it can attract dirt and reduce the belt’s lifespan.
