Brake Grumpage

Just had to have a brake job at 39,000 miles, which isn't unusual. Because of the salt water and sand I had to replace both rear hubs and most of the parts inside the hub, and the front calipers. What shoud have been a relatively minor job, at todays prices, ended up costing beacoup dinero. Any suggestions on how to fight off the salt. I wash and rinse the wheels already. Would anyone reccomend taking the hubs off and cleaning the shoes and other gear after say an extended trip to the vineyard where I pretty much spend ten days on the beach.
