Cleaning brake calipers

I painted my brake calipers several months ago and now driving around after awhile, black dirt and shit is stuck to the calipers. Is there a specific cleaning spray I can use that will remove the dirt and stuff off the caliper without removing the paint I've applied on the calipers?

I wouldn't recommend any specific wheel cleaners. However I use the Adams DWC, wheel woolies, andsomething like dawn for the wheels.

Fwiw i don't wax my wheels so I use dawn.

Mix up some Simple Green and water. 50-50. Spray it on, rinse it off. That'll tackle most of it. If there are any stubborn spots, hit it again and use a little brush, then rinse. Stuff works wonders.
