ABSTRACT:
Vehicle washing and drying apparatus including an inverted U-shaped frame adapted to roll over a vehicle while it is in a stationary position and having mounted thereon a fluid spray device for spraying cleaning fluid onto the surface of the automobile. A drying device is also mounted on the frame and includes side nozzles for blowing drying air onto the sides of the vehicle and a top nozzle projecting downwardly from the top of the frame and intermediately articulated so the lower portion thereof forms a normally downwardly facing horizontally elongated lower level orifice for directing drying air onto the tops of low profile vehicles. The lower portion of such nozzle may be folded away to clear higher profile vehicles and exposes an upper level horizontally elongated orifice which directs drying air onto the tops of higher profile vehicles. A control device is provided for controlling retraction of the lower nozzle and is operative in response to a sensing device which senses the high profile vehicle to automatically retract such nozzle.
