The infamous belt squeak

So I know this has been debated a 1,000 times for the best way to fix this problem. I have a 350 with an alternator, water pump, crank pulley. And a power steering pump to crank pulley. Well my belts squeaked. Very soon after a fresh build with painted pulleys. I sanded the paint off the pulleys, still squeaked, I sanded the belts, no luck. Looking at the belts really close, the alternator looked a little narrow. Bought a new thicker one and now they seem worse than before. I also tightened the power steering pump, not banjo tight, but tighter.

Options? belt Dressing? Saw some on line, maybe at autozone?

What do you guys think? it is driving me crazy.
