ABSTRACT:
A washing apparatus, for use in a vehicle washing installation, has a support and first and second arms pivotally mounted to the support. The arms extend out towards the vehicle path, with one arm extending forwardly and the other extending rearwardly. Washing wheels are rotatably mounted at the ends of the arms. A drive is provided for rotating the washing wheels, in opposite directions and such as to urge the wheels away from a vehicle body. The washing apparatus can be used to wash rocker panels and wheel wells of vehicles. Optionally, a link is provided between the two arms, to cause the two wheels to move in unison towards and away from a vehicle body. In this case, the forwardly extending arm engages the vehicle first, and the link ensures that the rearwardly extending arm does not engage the vehicle body excessively.
