Abstract

A brush for drying and/or washing a vehicle may include a rotating shaft rotatable around a rotation axis thereof and drying/cleaning means for drying/cleaning the vehicle. The brush may also include a first rotatable support plate for supporting the drying/cleaning means. The first plate may be traversed by the shaft and constrained on the shaft in an operating configuration. In some embodiments, a fictional lying plane of the first plate and the rotation axis form an angle other than 90 degrees. The brush may also include a connector to connect the drying/cleaning means to the first plate and positioning means for positioning the first plate in the operating configuration.
