is it worth cleanign out all the mud/crap that has got in the rear arches?thought maybe of clearing them out and rust proofing before any rust appears. or is this likely to make this worse as i thought it might protect the arches a bit.

When ever i wash my car i stick teh hsoe pipe in teh arch and get my fingers in there and scrape all teh mud off the arch lip, as its my reasoning that the mud that sits tehre causes the rust

i use oil white spirits to wet the mud and clean it off...works great.
As for rust prevention. go to halfords and buy a spray can of dinitrol....wheel arch wax...its great and stays on even when pounded from road water.
