Abstract
A car wash includes a series of modules mounted in an overhead position above the path of cars to be washed. The overhead modules mount brushes, sprays, air nozzles and curtain-like scrubbers so as to keep the ground level clear of this apparatus. The modules also are open to one another to form an air tunnel for drying air to travel to a blower.
