Default belt squeak from hell

ok, just recently i installed the March UD pullies which came with the diffrent belt sizes i needed sooo a few days after i do this, i get this horrible squeak that comes but goes away after driving the car for awhile, eventually i got fed up and got a new belt, same size but diffrent brand but a day later the squeak is back and is just like before, whats causeing this? i already tried using belt dressing

check the alignment of the pulleys. also how tight is the tensioner? if you dont have to move it much to slip the belt on, you need a smaller belt.

Also check your a/c tensioner pulley or belt. The belt and a/c tensioner pulley are famous for goin out!
