How do you clean your calipers?

Now that my calipers are painted red the grease and grime shows up sooo much easier and gets easily caked onto the hot caliper. What's your way of a quick clean without removal of the wheel?

i see that you have z06s so it would be really easy to stick ur washrag inbetween the spokes, thats what i do and it is easy and works well.
