Actually I heard that wildwood has no rubber hoods/seals as they are race bred brakes and as such require much more maintenance to keep them clean, compared to VW or P brakes that are bolt on. Just saying

... for all those times one drives these cars in snow and salt.
Wildwood, it's in New Jersey. Wilwood, they make race car stuff.
I've had my Wilwood 4 piston calipers for 5 or 6 years now. They require nothing special for maintenance other than the periodic fluid changes we all require.
I have 4 piston non-floating calipers, and as such, there are no pins and/or sliders to muck up. The caliper simply mounts solidly to the caliper bracket. The 4 pistons have seals like any other caliper. The 2 piston models are the same way.
That's the problem with anecdotal "I heard" stuff. Probably some shill trying to push people to buy stuff that he sells.
Is that like farrr for fire? Or IN-surance for Insurance? Or weeer-ties for wire ties?
I think it's more like whatsa matta fa you?
Fuhgetaboutit. Everybody in Wildwood is from Philly anyway.
Also, not all Wilwood calipers lack dust seals, only certain race applications.
