Sil-Glyde lubricant
Hi Guys.
I have a 98 Corvette with squealing belts. I check the belts and they are in good shape - no cracks. I previously used a spray on belt dressing but I think it made the belts dry, hence the squealing.
On advice of my mechanic I bought some Sil Glyde so I could put it on the belts myself. The instrutions say to use it sparingly.
I need to know how much to dab on the belt, just a pea size dab or should I rub a thin coat on the whole belt.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Mindy

Bill and Vettenuts.....you guys already had this fully covered.....sorry for the redundant response...
