Abstract
A car washing machine (1) is composed of a front body (1A) provided with a rocker brush (11), a top brush (12), side brushes (13) and so forth as washing means for washing a vehicle (2), and a rear body (1B) provided with a top nozzle (21), side nozzles (22) and so forth as drying means for drying the vehicle (2). The front and rear bodies (1A and 1B) are capable of separately traveling. According to this arrangement, the washing operation of the vehicle (2) using the washing means provided on the front body (1A) and the drying operation using the drying means provided on the rear body (1B) can be executed in a spaced apart relationship, thus preventing the drying finish from being deteriorated by water splashes produced during the washing operation.
