Question Zainoing under the rain?

oh oh...
It was a sunny day in Miami...so sunny i was sweating just washing the car.

And since i haven't Zaino the Z in a while i decided to do it today. I started applying Z1 and the sun was shining down on me real strong. I finished and started cleaning the wheels letting the Z1 dry. As soon as i am finishing with the last wheel. I feel a little drop on my arm...i look up...oh NO!!! a big black cloud is in top of me. As soon as i can say "OH ****" i am getting bombed by hundres and hundres of H2O missiles hitting my "no yet dried Z"

Will this do any harm to the paint? can i apply Z2 after it dries out?

What should i do?

It won't hurt the paint. See what happens if you just wipe it off after it dries. You might have to rewash and reapply.

Since you never got the polish on, you I'd remove the Z-1, then Z-6 the surface and then reapply the Z-1 prep and then the polish over it.

Ok, first off you are using the Z-1 incorrectly, Z-1 does not dry and you should not wait any period of time after applying the Z-1 to put Z-2 or Z-5 on top of the Z-1, Z-1 is ready to mix with Z-2 and/or Z-5 as soon as it hits the paint and is spread around.

I would wash the car with Z-7 and start over on a better day.
