Sometimes they can get glazed, and no amount of dressing will work for long. Plus the dressing will make a mess under the hood. And the pulley can become glazed with a glazed belt. If you decide to replace the belt, I'd hit the pulley with a green scotchbrite pad.
errr... I just saw your sig.... 2000 Vette? It's a ribbed serpent> Belt started squeaky perhaps due to cold weather (stops squeaking when
Your belt is worn out and the belting is riding on the ridges of the pulley. A new belt will cure it and the dressing is not even a stop gap anymore with the serpentine belts. When you replace it look at the bottom of the groves and you'll see the wear on the wire belt.
Thanks Ric & Dad, looks like I have to replace the belt.

2000 VetteAre you so freaking stupid that you have to ask what the problem is with your belt..Just go out and buy a new belt..stop wasting our time reading all these posts. BUY A BELT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and if the engine rattles, just buy a new one right? Stop taking up space and offer insights based on Vette ownership experience and/or troubleshooting such as Dad, Ric, Charlie, etc.
