How to clean the BBK calipers??

I bought a used set of BBK from forum members, and I tried to clean it up with water, it didnt do it, is there any good ways to clean those?

Use a wheel brush and good wheel cleaner. E1 all wheel cleaner or P21s wheel cleaner worked good on my friends brembo brakes.

i'd stay away from acidic wheel cleaners though such as meg's hot wheel cleaner or meg's wheel brightener. they turned my brake discs orange

The brake cleaner is use to clean the rotors and also sometimes can be use to clean the metal before applying a RTV gasket.
