A vehicle wash ramp is provided which is constructed from a lattice framework of support rails and cross members that are connected to form a base and a wash platform above the base. The base and wash platform are equipped with a pair of parallel running wheel tracks which roughly correspond in their width and relative position to accommodate the passage of vehicles to be washed. Additionally, access to the wash platform is facilitated by the use of fixed and folding platform ramps which angle up to the upper surface of the wash platform. The washing operation is accomplished by the use of an engine and pump combination that draws water from one or both of two storage tanks located on either side of the wash ramp base outside of each of the wheel tracks. The pump assembly pressurizes the water and sends it to the spray wand which allows the operator not only to control the flow of water or cleaning solution, but also allows the operator to direct this flow to specific areas and components of the vehicle. Once cleaned, the vehicle can be driven off of the wash ramp and onto a paved surface without tracking dirt and debris onto the paved surface.
