Default belt squeal when I give it gas?

Ok, i removed the main accessory belt to see if it was any of the pullies...gave it gas...still squeek. so now im thinking it might be the A/C belt...yesterday I went through a puddle cuz it was raining like hell, so im thinking maybe the belt got glazed...?


please if anyone can help or have suggestions on what it might be!


EDIT: When i was coming home it just squeeked under idle but not gas...I had some belt-dressing and sprayed some on the belt and the idle squeek went away, but then when i gave it gas the squeel started then calmed down on idle...this is wierd...maybe I put too much belt dressing?? It wasnt making the squeel at throttle. But what gets me is that it still does it even when I take the belt off!

Maybe I should let it dry overnight and see what happens in the morning

well, if i took off the belt, so the belt tensioner doesnt move...i just left the AC belt by itself, so it either boils it down the the crank pulley(only thing that spins without belt) or AC(which has a sep. belt).

ill let u guys know tommorow what it is..but if you guys had similar probs, let me know how u fixed it@

When I washed my engine it did the same thing. I just put up with noise for about 2 weeks and it finally stopped.
