ABSTRACT:
A brushless vehicle washing apparatus for washing a vehicle includes a gantry and sprayers carried by the gantry for directing jets of liquid against the exterior surfaces of the vehicle for cleaning the exterior surfaces. Some of the sprayers are oriented for directing their liquid jets generally in a first direction with respect to the gantry. The gantry is supported on arch-shaped supports for travel lengthwise of the vehicle, the supports including a middle section and opposite end sections. The supports hold the gantry in a first orientation in the middle section such that the liquid jets of the first sprayers are directed generally downwardly against top surfaces of the vehicle. The gantry is held at the end sections of the supports in a second orientation wherein the liquid jets of the sprayers are directed generally horizontally against the end exterior surfaces of the vehicle.
