摘要： A method for treating the surface of a vehicle by means of at least one rotating treatment brush. The treatment brush comprises treatment elements, the surfaces of which are brought into frictional contact with the vehicle surface during the treatment. According to the method, a reference measurement is carried out, in which the treatment brush is set in rotation and is moved into a defined position relative to a reference element, such that the surfaces of the handling elements are brought into frictional contact with the surface of the reference element, and in this case the value of the frictional force is measured directly or indirectly. During the treatment of the vehicle surface, the treatment brush is controlled as a function of the value of the frictional force measured during the reference measurement. A system for treating the surface of a vehicle by means of which this method can be carried out.

摘要： A vehicle washing installation includes at least one side washing brush which is mounted on a crossbar of the vehicle washing installation by a suspension to be rotatable about first and second pivot axes. The suspension has a first actuator for pivoting the side washing brush about the first pivot axis. The problem of providing a vehicle washing installation which, with little constructional outlay, permits a good washing result even in the case of inclined side surfaces and rear surfaces of the vehicle and the inclined transitions between said surfaces is addressed in that the suspension has a second actuator for pivoting the side washing brush about the second pivot axis, and by a method with the steps of: detecting and/or determining the inclination of a first vehicle surface running transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction; pivoting the side washing brush from a basic position about the second pivot axis in a manner corresponding to the inclination of the first vehicle surface; and moving the side washing brush along the first vehicle surface.

摘要： A vehicle-washing installation, a method for cleaning a vehicle, and a cleaning agent in the form of a system includes at least two components for use in such a method and vehicle-washing installation. The method is suitable for a vehicle-washing installation in which drying of the formed film is not required. A high-pressure water jet mechanically removes the film and eliminates the soiling of the vehicle surface. The system includes a component A, having at least one film-forming polymer in a substantially aqueous solution, and a component B, having at least one hardener in a substantially aqueous solution. The component A is applied to the vehicle at least once and then a solid or gel-like film is produced by applying component B at least once, which film is removed by pressurized post-cleaning fluid and/or washing brushes. The vehicle-washing installation includes an application device for applying the first and second components.
