Bob,

If you have Version 4.1 you can do it this way.

Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"]
Needs["Graphics`InequalityGraphics`"]

p1 = PolarPlot[4 Cos[t] - 2, {t, 0, 2Pi}];
p2 = InequalityPlot[1 < x^2 + y^2 < 4, {x, -2, 2},
    {y, -2, 2}, Fills -> GrayLevel[0.8]];

Show[p1, p2, Frame -> True, AxesFront -> True];

If you don't have Version 4.1 you could do it using my DrawingPaper packages
this way.

Needs["Graphics`DrawingPaper`"]
Needs["Graphics`FilledDrawing`"]

Show[Graphics[
    {DrawPolarR[4*Cos[t] - 2, {t, 0, 2*Pi}],
     FilledDraw[{1, 2}, {t, 0, 2*Pi},
       Fills -> {GrayLevel[0.7]}] /. DrawingTransform[
       #2*Cos[#1] & , #2*Sin[#1] & ]}],
   AspectRatio -> Automatic, PlotRange -> Automatic,
   Background -> Linen, {Frame -> True}];

I drew a filled band in the theta-r plane and then used DrawingTransform to
bend it into a washer in the x-y plane.
