Default Pads--Wheel Cleaner--S4--Red Brake Calipers

What do y'all use to clean your wheels and the red brake calipers? Love the car, but as someone else here said, "holy brake dust." Also, any thoughts of switching to ceramic pads for less dust?

I bought the Adam's Wheel cleaning kit. I really like it. It allows me to clean the barrels of the wheels as well (looks 100x better)

I am also going to use the Drexler Wheel Sealant once my winter rims come and I can do the 8 wheels at once. It can be applied to the calipers as well.

I will probably switch to a less aggressive pad once the OEM ones are gone (too expensive to swap right away IMO).

I use a set of wheel whoolies when I wash the car (about once a week). The water is black by the time I finish.
