Default Rear inner arch

Is the black stuff on the rear inner arch a protector or is it just raod grime ??

I had a little clean and the car's colour came through so i was thinking of cleaning them right up only i'm not sure if i will be taking off an underseal.

Any thoughts on this

Careful mate you might get a "sad" response on this thread from Mike Rainbird

its the same stuff they sprayed the underneath with mate, it will clean up nice

Looks like Waxoyl under seal. I've done the complete underside & both front & rear wheel arches (Behind the front Arch liners).

For those who wonder why do the front, just remove the liners & you'll see the crap that collects behind there from the drain holes under the bonnet & chucked up from the road.It was the same behind the side skirts.
