No....dirt and sand will stick to it and wear it out faster.

You need to use a dry lube like Comet clutch lube.

Best is a graphite based dry lubicant like steel rope/cable lube. You don't
want the belt to slip either, that is why it cannot be petroleum based.

Silicon can make the belt slip and would be tough to get off the clutch faces.
