ABSTRACT:
A vehicle washing apparatus includes vertically extending curtain-like washing elements suspended from an overhead support structure. A carriage assembly moves the overhead support structure back and forth through a vehicle bay so that the washing elements wash a car within the bay. An elevating mechanism on the carriage is selectively operable to lift the curtain-like elements out of the way of a vehicle to enable manual washing of the vehicle. The elevating mechanism includes a horizontal bar that moves laterally against the curtain-like elements in one direction to swing an upper portion of the elements upwardly and a horizontal roll of water resistant sheet material that is unrolled laterally against the curtain-like elements in an opposite direction below the level of the bar to swing a lower portion of the elements upwardly onto the sheet.
