Good set of pictures of a Unimog Tunnel Washer in the Baltimore Sun.

The second and fifth picture certainly give context to before and after.

I'm slightly confused by the comment in one picture where it says it takes a week to do each tunnel, though. Are they sure?

Apparently they do 10 passes, according to the article, so I guess they maybe do two passes a night for 5 nights?

Maybe one can be borrowed for the Limehouse Link, which is lined with large white synthetic panels. The only time these look clean is when some are replaced after being struck and broken by a collision.
