Screeching Wheels

Hi,
My bike has brand wheels and they screech brutally when brakes are applied. How can I fix this? Here is the background. I put new Mavic A719 Alu S6000 Wheels on my commuter bike last month. The rear wheel began to get screechy when braking with wet wheels over the last couple weeks. So, this past weekend I used pink Finish Line cleaner and paper towels to remove a substantial amount of grease and grime from the wheels. On today's commute, the noise was much worse/ awful and had spread to the front wheel as well. I had degreased the brake pads as well and felt no sharp objects or particles in them when I cleaned as well. The pads are a month old. Help!
