When washing the car I Always run the hose pipe nozzle around the inner lip of rear wheel arches. If you run you fingers around it you will see how much corrosive mud is sitting there slowly eating the metal from the inside outl. If you can get it clean and dry (dry being unusual in UK)
get some underseal in there asap!
