Can anyone suggest a good over the counter cleaner for wheels and calipers? I have a Auto Zone, Lowes and Home Depot near me. I am looking to actually clean calipers/rotors.

Get a spray cleaner made for Brakes/CV Joints/Clutch parts for your calipers. There are also spray on cleaners for rotors even though the prior would work. I would not use it on wheels. Get a good wheel cleaner from AG.

stay away from OTC Wheel Cleaners, the most often ingredients are acid or lye. Both can damage brake systems over time also.

What would you suggest to purchase from AG. I have everything for wheels, wheel wells and tires. I just hate seeing the dirty calipers and stuff behind the wheels. I saw Dust to Glory used some thing called RL. What is this? Amazing roll off?

I would consider having them removed, cleaned, and powdercoated. I had them on last Vette and much easier to keep up. I just cannot decide on colors for these now. Red .... maybe yellow ????
