Mr. Clean magic eraser works wonders

Cosmetically it's really not a big deal because the wheel covers the rust but the hub-centric ring builds rust and makes it difficult to remove the wheels. Once the wheels are off the hubs look horrible as you can see in this pic.
I have done something similar, however I used a Mr. Clean magic eraser being careful to avoid the rotor surface. I can't say if it works better than your approach, but it is a bonus that you don't need chemicals.

I am going to try the brake cleaner based on your post.

Nice post.
