Back in the 70's I was assigned to an exploration vessel that used multiple Detroit Diesels driving Chicargo Pneumatic PB44 compressors to generate air at 2000 PSI. The compressors were driven by multi V belts. At that time part of the routine maintenance was to spray the belts with belt dressing that improved both the grip, reduced the noise and extended the belts life. Belt dressing spray is still easily available and is suitable for both V belts and Cogged belts. It will quieten the belt drive down.. However, pls note, we used the belt dressing in a semi clean environment within the vessel. Not sure how the dressing would impact the belt wear if it was also subjected to road grime. If you Google Belt Dressing sprays there are multiple choices. The posted photo is a belt dressing spray... If you want to go this route check each products suitability.
