Right, belt dressing is really only good on V-belts and it mostly masks an underlying problem. That can be a stretched belt, a weak tensioner, an accessory that has drag on it, etc.
I had massive belt squeal in a GTI I had and it was truly awful in the rain. Belt dressing only masked it. A new set of belts finally fixed it.
In my old C900--remember the double belt setup?-- it was the water pump was sticking internally and would not turn on start up. After a couple of seconds it was fine, but sure shrieked on star up.
Belts aren't supposed to squeal--there has to be some other problem.
