ABSTRACT:
A vehicle washing apparatus includes a pair of elevated, parallel tracks along which a carriage is moved. The carriage supports hanging strips formed of a series of sponge like elements joined end to end. The strips are formed into a transverse array and an array on each side of the carriage so as to cover the entire outer surface of a vehicle disposed in the volume between the tracks as the carriage is moved along the tracks. The transverse array is preceded by a water spray from nozzles mounted on the carriage, and additional nozzles are mounted from the carriage on the outside of the side arrays to direct a water spray against the side strips to hold such strips against the vehicle. Stationary water spray nozzles are also provided along the length of the track to provide a rinse spray for the vehicle. The strips and the spray nozzles may all be reciprocated during operation.
