Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02053423A1] The invention relates to a method for cleaning a vehicle (40) using a car wash facility (25), which comprises at least one vertically aligned first cleaning tool (28), which can be displaced in a longitudinal and perpendicular direction in relation to the vehicle (40) and at least one horizontally aligned second cleaning tool (31), which can be adjusted in the vertical direction to follow the vehicle contours and in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (40). The aim of the invention is to improve the method to such an extent that over-long vehicles can also be cleaned. To achieve this, a test unit (33) verifies whether the vehicle length exceeds a predetermined maximum value and if said maximum value is exceeded, the tail (41) and/or front (42) of the vehicle is cleaned using only the first (28) or only the second cleaning tool (31). The invention also relates to a car wash facility.
