Glad you found it..
.HOWEVER...
do not use belt dressing....this stuff was designed for the old pto leather belts like those on thrashing machines or rip saw drive belts....on an automotive belt like Mercedes uses, it will cause heat due to increased slip. This can melt your plastic pulley wheels. It also bungs up the grooves with road dust and the belt will still slip and that ain't good.
DRY belt only. If it's making a noise you may have a pulley siezing or a leak from your p/s pump.
