Callipers:
A way to spice up the look and at the same time protects the callipers from corrosion. The Calliper Paint System features aircraft quality paint, available in six different high gloss colours, Red, Yellow, Blue, Silver, Black, & Purple. The paint is heat resistant up to 925oF; this paint won't start running into your brake pads, it also seals and protects against corrosion.
Brake dust and dirt will not adhere to the calliper surface since adding the paint. The kit includes everything you'll need to get the job done, besides paint you'll also get reactor (special bonding agent), high tech calliper cleaner, mixing sticks, and a brush. Do not attempt to paint the rotor contact surface. G2-Performance Engineering Inc.
Cleaning
Ensure that the brake callipers are cool to the touch; never use a cleaner on callipers, wheels or brakes. Use a pH balanced cleaner just for an extra level of safety. Spray the calliper with d-limonene (citrus) based solvent (P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel) rinse off with clean water and then wipe it down with a soft wash mitt, sponge or micro fibre towel. Protect the face of the calliper with a traditional sealant similar to that used on your paint

The easiest thing to clean with is P21S Total Auto Wash and then you can apply a wax like einszett glanz to protect them. You can then use the auto wash to clean engine, door jams, tail pipes, tires and wheels, etc. The wax can obviously be used to wax your car as well.

Agitating the surface of the wheels with various brushes as shown in Phil's link really helps a LOT as well!
