Cleaning Brak Disc and Wheel Hubs?

How do most people clean the brake disc and the wheel hubs? They are just so hard to reach. Also, my is starting to rust for some reason. Does anyone know of a good cleaning product such as Metal Polish, Rust Remover, etc. that is good for cleaning the brake disc and rusted wheel hubs? Thanks

The rust on disk it's normal, when you wash your car or it's stay a long time without driving, the rust appears on it. When you brake, then it goes off. There's nothing you can do about it.

For the Hub, just take of the wheel and clean it with a abrake cleaner!...or juste leave it like that

You cannot be serious! Just use the brake once and it is gone.

For the hub, just take the wheel off and remove the rust with a liquid rust remover. Make sure it doesn't get on the brake pads or the rotor surface.

I have done some research and there are so many metal polish out there. Do any of you know of a good one? Also, is the wheel hub coated metal? I was going to use Menol, but it is not recommended for using on coated metal. Thanks.

You can just use steel wool to rub the rust off the hub and then paint over it with a high heat enamel. Make sure you don't get any paint on the rotor surface or the wheel mating surface.
