Methods and apparatuses for vehicle dimensioning in a car wash are disclosed. A processor receives sensor data pertaining to a vehicle from a sensor and controls the position, orientation, and operational parameters of one or more service devices based on the sensor data. The sensor data includes data which may be used by a processor to determine one or more dimensions, shapes, profiles, and areas to be cleaned or excluded for the vehicle. The processor may further calculate how to operate the service devices such that they interact with dirt or other vehicle contamination while not interacting with undesirable areas of a vehicle such as an open window or sunroof.
