they clean easy if the paint is ceramic based, wipes right off.

gonna switch up the caliper color, debating on what i should do.

I think red is a pretty clean color, especially for the color scheme on your car

i have some chrome wheels and id say that i spray/clean my wheels atleast once a week during the summer....

all i ever do to my calipers is spray them with water/soap+water....

ive never had to scrub them down or anything...

so i guess the moral of the story is... clean them regularly and dont let junk build up on them...
