Zainoing a wet car..?

Every time before I Zaino I was my car and dry it as best I can. but I don't always get every wet part off... if I then Zaino while it's wet, am I making the product any less effective? Or am I just drastically increasing the drying time? Thank

A little moisture isn't going to hurt anything. If you pick up a few small water spots, just let them soak into the applicator and move on. Just always be on the lookout for some dirt that may have crept out from nowhere in those dropletts. You don't want to wipe that back over the car. If you see larger amounts of water, keep a good towel handy for wiping it up before polishing.


A wet applicator will actually help the polish spread a little thinner and smoother, and you'll use less product too. In fact, I like to lightly "wet" the app with some Z6 before polishing. Some use plain water. So, a little water isn't going to significantly affect your results. At worst, it "may" cause the Zaino to dry a tiny bit longer, but you probably wouldn't even notice.
