Jr babe, did you have to clean the inside of the arches out on the Corsa?

With Waxoil can you just paint it on with a brush?

Would a bodyshop do this? Had some good news and as soon as my car gets back from Lee it goes in the bodyshop to have the bodywork done and thats one of the things I want done to make the inside of the arches look new.
