I used the Hot Wheels wheel cleaner for about a year and it peeled the clear coat off my red Boxster S calipers...

Never again.

One thing I did do was take off the wheels and clean off all the brake dust from the rim and back of the spokes with a power washer and then applied 3 or 4 coats of Armor All Wheel Protectant. It did make the brake dust easier to remove....
