How do I do this? If I took it to a PepBoys or something will they do it for me or are there cheaper ways to do it? Thanks

I agree with taking wheels off for a thorough cleaning...but....if you want something a little faster ...get yourself some (no acidic) wheel cleaner, an a good wheel brush...an do work.....Gl

I wonder if he is talking about the rust on the rotors that is not in the sweep area?

When you say brake, are you talking about the caliper or the rotor? The caliper is the metal bracket that clamps down and squeezes on the rotor. The rotor is the disk that rotates through the middle of the caliper.
And when you are talking about the part of the wheel (rim), are you talking about the spokes or the interior wall of the wheel? The spokes extend out from the center/hub of the wheel, and the wall is the flat wide portion of the wheel to which the tire is mounted.
