ABSTRACT:
A vehicle washing system having apparatus for following the surface contour of a vehicle includes a redirectable directional discharge manifold assembly for a cleaning solution that is supported by an overhead, pivotally mounted boom at a washing station. Sensors mounted in the region of the manifold assembly sense the contour of the passing vehicle and a controller responsive to the sensor provides drive signals which activate a motor to move the boom and maintain the boom and manifold assembly at a predetermined distance relative to the vehicle as the vehicle passes the washing station.
