I wouldn't pressure wash back there- but Simple Green would be okay with a fine, light water mist. You just don't want water forced into place it shouldn't be. A toilet brush (use a NEW one!) works well for those areas and is abrasive enough to get the job done.

Wow I never thought of using a toilet brush for the wheel wells.

What do you do once you get them clean? I have found a good use for that old Armor All, mix it 50/50 with water and spray it in the wheel wells. Gives it that deep black look for car shows and photo opts.
