This invention relates to a mobile system for washing vehicles which supplies water at high pressure through a discharge hose to a user-operated spray gun or wand. The mobile washing system contains means to receive water at low pressure from the municipal or domestic well water supply. There is an engine and pump that pressurizes the water received; an onboard sdelf regenerating water softening unit to remove impurities from the wash and rinse water so that washed vehicles may dry virtually spot-free without manual drying; reservoirs for storing a liquid cleaning agent and a liquid wax which can be introduced into the discharge stream under operator control to eliminate the need to manually apply soap or wax; and valves and controls to effectively operate the wash system. All components are mounted on a wheeled cart which can be easily rolled from vehicle to vehicle by the operator or rolled to a convenient washing location. The water softening system is such that is may be regenerated by the user as required, eliminating both the expense of returning the mineral tank to the manufacturer and the frequenct, lengthly periods of unavailability.

A mobile vehicle wash system mounted on a mobile cart with four wheels, said system comprising: regenerating water softener means having a mineral tank coupled to receive untreated water and to deliver softened water, a bring tank connected to said water softener means for supplying a regenerating chemical to the mineral tank, and control means connected to said water softener means for supplying either untreated water or the regenerating chemical to the mineral tank in a predetermined sequence; a water supply hose connected through a water supply hose reel to said water softener means; a liquid wax reservoir for supplying wax to softened water delivered by said system; a liquid cleaning agent reservoir for supplying said cleaning agent to said softened water delivered by said system; a high pressure liquid pump coupled to drive water through said system; engine means coupled to operate said pump; a high pressure reel means connected to said pump to deliver high pressure liquid to said high pressure reel; a high pressure hose connected to said high pressure reel; a high pressure spray gun connected to said high pressure hose to deliver high pressure water onto a vehicle to be washed; a first valve means for selectively connecting the high pressure pump to either the water supply reel or the mineral tank for supplying either untreated water or softened water to the high pressure pump; means for selectively connecting the wax reservoir to supply wax to the water being supplied to the pump; means for selectively connecting the cleaning agent reservoir to supply a cleaning agent to the water being supplied to the pump; and battery powered means to operate at least one of the selective means for supplying said wax and said liquid cleaning agent.
