Brembos or AMG calipers

Just wondering if there's anything special I need to know about cleaning and protecting these? Do people put any wax/sealants on them? Thanks!

I treat them much like any quality wheel. First off make sure they are cool to the touch, you never want to put cleaner on hot wheels, brakes, etc. I like to clean them with a pH balanced cleaner just for that extra level of safety. The P21S Wheel Gel or the Chemical Guys Wheel and Rim Citrus Cleaner are two excellent options. Spray it on the wheel and caliper and then wipe it down with a soft wash mitt, sponge or microfiber towel. When you are done you can protect the face of the caliper with a traditional sealant used on your paint or the Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant. Let me know if you have any questions.
