An apparatus for self-adjusting car wash equipment within a car wash tunnel is disclosed. The apparatus may include an element of wash equipment positioned in the car wash tunnel. In addition, the apparatus may include a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor the memory contains instructions configuring the processor to receive a vehicle surface profile using at least a sensor within the car wash tunnel generate a digital model of an exterior of the vehicle, where the digital model describes a length of the vehicle, and to determine a vehicle profile for the vehicle by comparing information obtained from the digital model to a standard model for the vehicle. Accordingly, the processor may determine the wash parameter as a function of the vehicle profile, where the wash parameter may control the element of wash equipment and prevent cleaning operations performed by the wash equipment past the length of the vehicle.
