I am not sure if there is any easy way of cleaning rust....did you ever consider painting your calipers? A red or silver would look sick on your car...easy enuff to do in an afternoon....then you will never have to worry of rust again...

Rep Power: 323 If it's the rotor's that's rusted, just drive them, if it's the calipers, you'll probably just want to take a wire brush to it and then paint it with some high temp paint.

Just take off your wheels and I layed and wrapped some plastic wrap over the rotor and other components and went nuts with the spraypaint on the caliper....or you can take the caliper off, look in the DIY section to see how to remove your calipers....the back rotors I hand painted. Make sure you use quality paint for the calipers, something that is high temperature. You can get that stuff at a place like Pep Boys or Auto Zone...take a look at my ride in the rides section to see what it looks like....some easy that you can do yourself...
