squeaky brakes

I just replaced my brake pads only on my 2001 S and did not redo the rotors. they were squeaking before the change and now they still are. I am not sure if the noise is from leftover dust or something but it is pissing me off. (should I have done the rotors too) maybe there is a cleaning fluid or something i should spray on them, water does help for a while. I also noticed that the brake wear light came back on after a few days of the pad change and then went back off after I shot the wheels with water at the next wash. As for doing the pads yourself, it is so easy. You can actually bleed the brake lines with the wheels on! These cars are so well designed.
