Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for washing a vehicle at a vehicle wash facility. At least one wash tool is moved along the vehicle as a function of the contour of the vehicle. In order for effective cleaning of the vehicle to be achieved even if the latter has a complicated contour, the invention proposes that at least one wash tool be moved along the vehicle during a reference run, the movement of the wash tool being controlled manually along at least a partial area of the vehicle, and that the contour of at least the vehicle area in which the movement of the wash tool is controlled manually be stored in the form of contour data on a storage medium, and that the stored contour data be used in a subsequent washing operation in order to control the same vehicle wash facility or a vehicle wash facility of identical construction. Furthermore, a vehicle wash facility is proposed for carrying out the method.
