Any one a trick to cleaning the actual brake calipers that doesn't involve taking the wheels off?

Specially those with lighter colored calipers.

turn your wheels just right to see the full caliper. Then Bleche White and a small soft brush. spray clean.

thats it, but i dont think it's made by black magic... could be wrong. i've been using it for years with no issues. just dont leave it on there forever. i used it this morning matter of fact, sprayed all 4 tires wheels and calipers, then walked around and washed them and sprayed them off. nice and shiny. dirt comes right off. and my calipers are candy with 4 coats of clear.

If you are speaking of the black Brembo pad dust, it really does not stick much. Any mild cleaner like Simple Green and a paint brush or a round parts brush with water takes it right off.
