i park my car in a garage for 2 days i start it up and a loud very very loud scrapping or a sharp cracking noise occurs. I open hood and bingo! its the belt, i checked it. It looks fine from my vantage point. any lubes to spary on the belt so its more "smooth" ? if it dont reslove it i will prolly remove the belt its time for a replacement anyways just wanted to know if there is even a type of lube for belts?

Uhhh NO

You don't LUBE belts.

Don't lube belts. iuf there making that noise usually menas time for a new belt or maybe a tensioner. Lube or belt dressing will work to make the noise go away but the belt will still slip and probobly more.

Just get a new belt and idler pulley bearings and it will be fine.

Old school trick.

If you have oil on your belts or something thats causing the squeek...

I was told to use some dish washing soap on it without water. It will squeek for a short while but will clean the belt off.

You may need to tighten the belt. If its the laternator belt I had a smiliar issue, turned out I had a bad bearing in the alternator causing some "drag" that was making it squeek.

i found the prob the belt with kinda slipping on cold turn overs i just adjusted it a bit to make it more tight ...and done thx for headsup all
