Default Belt conditioner on timing belt

Well my belts started to make a little noise so I put belt conditioner on them.
After I put it on the belts it worked good and noticed it said good for all belt so my question is would this be a good idea to use on my timing belt? Thanks for any help

Why would you want to use this on the timing belt? Just replace it. Don't waste your time screwing around with stuff as important as the timing belt.

I wouldn't even think about it!! The timing belt would not cause any noises like a regular belt because it can not slip due to the teeth on the cam gears and so on. And it's not like the conditioner extends the life of the belt.

I wouldn't even use belt conditioner on my regular belts. Please don't think about using it on your timing belt. If you hear a noise, then it wasn't installed correctly. Make sure you have the proper tension and all the timing belt guides are correctly installed. I bought a used DB and noticed 1 of the timing belt guides was missing which caused my timing belt cover to get chewed away.

Yeah, if the timing belt is making noise it means the tension is off or the belt is misaligned. I would worry that noise indicates early wear and might consider replacing it. Skip the conditioner -- you don't want to mess with the timing belt.
