Crazy squeal

O.k so after i was taking my peeps to the bank yesterday, i threw the car in park while i wait, i quickly noticed that my car was squealin, its hard to explain the squeal but it would want to sound like when you turn your aftermarket HID's on and the ballast sometimes have a small squeal, only that mines was really loud. When i popped the hood i couldnt pinpoint exactly where the sqealing is coming from, this morning when i went to work i kinda listened for it again, and sure nuff there it is... i turn the car off and on again and the sound is gone, i let it idle for a while but it never came up so i kinda gassed it in park to about 2000 rpm and there goes the squealing, still couldnt pinpout the area... when i was leaving work i tried it again, revved it to 2K but it never came... when i got home there it was again, im taking it that it only happens when the car is warmed up, anybody ever experience this??? help please

DON'T spray that on the belts. It's just going to make them slip and or dry rot them. They have stuff just for what your problem is. It is like a tacky belt spray. Helps them grip. I would honestly just replace the belts. Take a look at them and if you see minimal cracking it's ok. If the belt(s) have chunks missing from the grooves go buy new ones. We can install them when we do the Rear VC. DON'T spray WD-40 on them tho.
