I don't know if it is a building, a covered roof or in the open air. To be safe, facility or station would be better
Andrzej Mierzejewski Sep 16, 2016:
A car wash is a machine intended and sized for vehicles featuring a closed body, the size thereof from e.g. Peel P50 http://i.imgur.com/jW9SuKx.jpg?1 up to this VanHool(?) monster (not sure whether this is a real thing, not a computer-generated image)

Whereas, tractors, trailers and farm equipment have various shapes and dimensions. I guess that the simplest solution is just a human-operated pressure washer http://www.karcher.ca/PressureUpload/CPDCategoryImages/Level... . When you add a concrete yard and water drain system, you can call it a washing facility or station, I hope.

Hi Jerry, I think it would be beneficial if You could state whether it is required to provide distinction between a wash station as a building and a washing facility=equipment, or whether it is not necessary.
