Abstract
A combination fluid and air washing apparatus for washing a vehicle's viewing surface. The apparatus includes a housing, a nozzle assembly with at least one fluid nozzle and at least one air nozzle corresponding to each of fluid nozzles. A shaft is pivotally attached to the housing. The fluid and air nozzles are adjacently attached to the shaft and point towards the vehicle viewing surface. The air nozzle points lower on the vehicle viewing surface than the fluid nozzle. A pressured lines provides pressured air to the washing apparatus. The air compressor provides pressured air to the fluid reservoir forcing the fluid through the fluid nozzle and the air compressor simultaneously provides pressured air through the line to the air nozzle. Thus, the vehicle's viewing surface with the fluid and the fluid washes the vehicle's viewing surface and the air dries the vehicle's viewing surface.
