Just put on a new belt. If that doesn't solve it, its most likely your idler tensioner pully.
candle wax...never heard of that one before.

I remember my grandfather used to have a big stick of waxy material (like a fat candle) that he used to call Dum Dum (or something like that) that you would touch against the belt while it the motor was running and the squeal would go away. I tried to Google it, but must have the name wrong, or it was just a nick name for the product that they used around the shop. He used to work for MACK truck and would bring various kinds of random, industrial-brand products home from time to time.
I've also read of people spraying squeaky belts with Turtle Wax Super Protectant...supposedly works better than candle wax.
