Exclamation brake fluid spilled and grease got on rotor

ok so i changed my brake pads to some better ones this is my first time btw. so here goes i greased up the lil metal pieces and on the caliper where it meets the brakes and what not but what concerns me is that when i applied the grease on the caliper by accident i got lil smudge on the rotor. and when i pushed pack the part on the caliper were it has a round circle piston thing brake fluid spilled so i pumped the pedal and got really hard after i turned on the car and feels normal after pumping. so i took it for a test drive brakes felt good on braking power just that now theres a shiny rainbow color on my rotor will that wear off? also do i have to bleed the brakes?

so if someone can awnser my question it be really awsome and thanks in advance

your rotor should be fine. if you are really worried than buy brake cleaner and spray it on the rotor and wipe it off. and you may need to bleed the brakes depending on if you took any of the lines off.

few i thought that would mess up my rotors thanks for helping garry
no lines were disconnected im thinking that the brake fluid that was in the caliper was pushed back up and made it spill

if it smells use brakekleen then, on the stain part, but normally too sometimes new brakes smell a bit/smoke then smell/smoke goes after awhile.. u just got to break them in a bit ;D
just depends on brand i guess, i remember I would make them SMOG ;D when i worked @ a Brake shop hahahaha don't tell me how i just did lol lol.. had to make sure car would STOP... right :P
