Abstract
A personal automatic car wash is provided which includes an enclosure for the car. A movable fluid dispensing assembly is mounted on a track in the enclosure so that fluids can be dispensed to the surfaces of a stationary car situated within the enclosure. The fluid dispensing assembly is driven by a drive motor longitudinally back and forth about the car while fluids are dispensed to the car. Under computer control, the fluid dispensing assembly sequentially sprays a heated soap/water mixture under relatively low pressure and then a heated rinse water under relatively high pressure to clean the car. A steam-bath like atmosphere is thus provided which enhances the removal of dirt from the car and the cleaning of the car without the use of abrasive cleansers. A spot free water rinse is applied to the car to further clean the car.
