What are the best products and techniques or getting rid of the crud build up on the inside of the wheel arches?

Regular washing mate. Honestly there's not that much more you can do. They are such a dirty area anything you do apply is just bested up within weeks.

Cheers for that mate. Is there something I can use to get them to a decent standard as it looks like they've never been done before?

As above. I found it easier to use a stiff short fibre brush and rub the crud off whilst it's dry. Wheel off job.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Don't know if its the best available but I've been using waxoyl in the  arches area for 2 years. As above good clean, dry and apply :happy2:

 I asked the painter to put plenty of paint on the inside of this area when I got them changed  :smiley:
