ABSOLUTLY NOT!!! SHOULD THE TIMING BELT SLIP JUST ONCE IT CAN CAUSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE
AND THE LIQUIDS IN SPRAYS TEND TO DEGRADE THE RUBBER TO MAKE THEM STICKY AND NOT SLIP, BUT ON A TIMING BELT THEY WEAKEN THE RUBBER AND IT FAILS... YOU WERE WARNED.

Belt dressing should not be used on any belts. If a belt is making noise, it either needs to be re-tensioned or replaced. Belt dressing eventually ruins your belts, I have seen this occur on several vehicles.

It can be used, but it will be a complete and utter waste of time. *LOL* It won't hurt the timing belt (as others have suggested) but it will do absolutely nothing for the belt either.
It will just hang there, drooling down the timing belt, laughing at you, mocking you for wasting your good belt dressing...
...oh, wait, was that last part out loud? *blush*

No. Timing belts are internal to the engine and are major maintenance usually at 50 to 90 thousand miles. If it breaks, the car stops. Period.

NO!!! Timing belts have cogs .. or "teeth" that mesh with the cam and crankshaft pulleys. Check the belt for proper tension, and if the belt is stretched out you should replace it with a new one.

no, belt dressing is for belts on the exterior of the engine, to help them seat and not squeal
