Belt Squeal

Belt Squeal
My 2005 xB with 150,000 miles has always has a slight belt squeal when starting off. I have never been able to stop the squeal by tightening the belts. Is this normal for these cars?

Mechanic told me not to use belt dressing after I had already tried it. I'm afraid overtightening might put too much stress on old parts, pulleys, bearings. Apparently the squeal doesn't hurt anything if we can just put up with the rather embarassing noise.

Yea I've never actually used it on belts. Mostly just on the stuff in the engine compartment to make everything shine. I've heard that you can tighten these belts pretty tight as well without messing anything up but I have no personal experience with it. I just (puts on sunglasses) "deal with the squeal"
