Abstract

A brush for a vehicle washing system comprising: - flexible elements (2) intended to come into contact with the vehicle for cleaning and/or polishing and/or drying; - a central annular support (3) from which the flexible elements (2) extend; - a shaft (4) rotating about its own axis (40) of rotation, said shaft (4) crossing said central support (3) and placing said central support (3) in rotation about said axis (40) of rotation. The central support (3) comprises a lateral surface (35), from which the flexible elements (2) extend, which is inclined with respect to the axis (40) of rotation of the shaft (4).
