Rear arch cleaning?
Hi guys
Bit of a question here! I'm been going over my car (new-age 05) making a list of what needs correcting in terms of body work over the next few weeks and while looking at my rear wheels I noticed the rear arches are really "grotty" the front arches have the plastic fender that can be nicely cleaned / restored but the rear aches seem to have an almost crusty / flakey material stuck to them.... I know its not permanent because where the pressure washer has hit the arches in the past there is small chunks missing and exposing the blue arch....... so my question is this!
Is it a good idea to remove the rear wheel and get rid of that stuff? What is it there for??
Cheers in advance guys!

If you want to do for the bling look then clean it all off - jet wash, degrease etc - then a light polish and seal with Jetseal 109. A few layers should do it. Then keep it topped up. Not a good idea if an everyday car though. You'd be better off with the underseal.
