When the car wash start switch is turned on in this state, first the motors 24A and 24B are driven to rotate the side brushes 26A and 26B a and b, and the centrifugal force thereof causes the brush bodies 25A and 25B to move to the positions shown in FIG. Expand as indicated by the imaginary line b (expansion). At that time, since it is a special cleaning course, both side brushes are
The rotations a and b of 26A and 26B are performed at a low rotation speed, that is, the rotations a and b at a low speed, so that both brush bodies 25A and 25B are expanded with a small diameter.

Next, the two side brushes 26A, 26B are moved toward each other M in the vehicle width direction W so as to be at the central cleaning position X where the brush bodies 25A, 25B interfere with each other as shown by the phantom line B in FIG. Closed). Then, based on the traveling start command, the traveling drive device 15 is driven to cause the car wash machine body 1 to travel (forward), and both side brushes 26A and 26B are moved toward the front surface 30a. By this movement, both side brushes 26A, 26B
Contacts (contacts) the front surface 30a as shown by the phantom line C,
The limit switch or the like detects that both side brushes 26A, 26B are tilted rearward, and the traveling of the car wash machine body 1 is stopped.

Thereafter, based on the motor high speed rotation command,
The rotation of both side brushes 26A and 26B is switched to a high speed rotation speed, that is, to the high speed rotations A and B, whereby both brush bodies 25A and 25B are expanded to a large diameter as shown by the phantom line E in FIG. In this state, the traveling drive device 15 causes the car wash machine body 1 to travel again, and both side brushes 26A,
By bringing the 26B into contact (contact) with the corresponding side surface 30b, the side surface 30b is cleaned by both side brushes 26A and 26B as shown in the phantom line in FIG. 1 and the phantom line in FIG. Is performed at high speed rotations A and B.

Next, since it is a special cleaning course,
Based on the motor low speed rotation command, both side brushes 26A,
26B is switched to high-speed rotations A and B, and both brush bodies 25A and 25B are expanded with a small diameter, as shown in phantom lines in FIG. Then, the both side brushes 26A, 26B are moved toward each other (fully closed) M in the vehicle width direction W, so that the entire area of the rear surface 30b is cleaned as shown by the phantom line in FIG. At this time, since the both side brushes 26A and 26B rotate at low speeds a and b, the rear surface wiper 32 is not overloaded and the rear surface wiper 32 is less likely to be damaged.
