Default brakes still squeaking after replacing pads

my rear brakes are still squeaking after replacing the brake pads. i was told i didn't need new rotors so i just had them re-surfaced. could this be why they are still squeaking?

i'm thinking it could either be the pads themselves or the rotors.

any ideas on what the problem is? thanks guys. its just really annoying because i replaced my pads to stop the squeaking in the first place.

I'm really not sure. I can tell you the anti-squeel compound didn't work in my case. I took the Z out Tuesday night and it squealed like a pig at every stop. I'm ordering new pads after Christmas...
