Just managed to clean the Rally GB mud from the wheel arches properly as the pressure washer has been poorly.

When I was jet washing them there was a blackish coating that was coming off and the cars colour showed through.

Stop the jet wash as I couldn't tell whether it was caked on dirt or a covering of some sort.

Should the wheel arches be the same colour as the car or have a black film covering?
