You only get the squeal/belt issue when the electric fans turn on? What condition are your battery cables and your battery? If it's not something with the Belt, alternator or brackets I would check the cables, battery and the engine to frame ground cable.

Belt dressing was used on older V Belt setups. Used to be available from GM but I think they stopped making it.

Also, take a look at the pulleys. A Glazed pulley can cause a squeak/squeal too. The best way to fix that would be to replace the pulley but you could also go over it with a scotch brite pad.
