An automated/robotic car wash system is disclosed that is able to autonomously wash and dry a vehicle using steam and/or high-pressure water. High-pressure water, steam, and/or pressurized air outputs are mounted to a tool head, which is in turn mounted to the end of a multi-axis robotic gantry system wash that maneuvers around the surface of the vehicle. Also provided are vehicle washing processes that automatically controls the movement and operation of the system, through an automatic main controller that generates and analyzes input data in the form of a movement program, a safety program, a user entry program, a toolpath program, and/or a utilities management program.
