Nothing is better than removing the wheels if you want to get at the whole caliper but doing that each time you want to clean the car is a PITA so I reach as much of the caliper as I can, then start the car and move it just a half wheel rotation and that normally allows me to reach the rest of the caliper through the openings in the wheel. When detailing the tires, I do the same so I can get the tire juice on the part of the tire that was against the ground. Then when I'm in the mood and have enough beer around, I remove the wheels so they get a proper wash and wax on the inside and so do the calipers and wheel wells. A proper detail takes me at least four hours.
