just wait till it dries, it'll come off then. If you try and wash it off now it will turn all greasy. But will come off after a few washes.

If you take the drying option and you find it a right pain to remove, apply more super resin over it, this will dissolve the previous product.
let it dry then buff it off and start again...or use a mild cutting agent like colour restorer, or tcut metalic....then start again

i was supposed to do mine today, but decided not to due to the tempramental weather

The cars unlikely to dry itself off now, and i cant use my microfibre cloth on top of the polish, what if i remove what i can with my cloth and shampoo the car again?

I know, been caught out many times! Car will look like a right mess, reminded me of a girl crying and her eyelash product has started to run down her face lol

Dont worry though


Try washing it if you want, use plenty of shampoo, you might need to make a few washes though. You might get a smeary finish, but the next time you wax her it'll will remove this, and by the looks of it the weather will help you there!

Health and safety notice lol : Make sure you wearing a warm coat, I washed my ST in the rain yesterday becuse of Rain-x started to run after it started to rain(same kinda position as you really). Now have a cold developing

If you wash it again with warm water and washing up liquid it will strip off everything that is on there !!!!!!!!

This is what I would do.....goodluck.....
take it to your closest underground garage or a big petrol station dry it off and get polish off then go home
Managed to get most of the resin off through lots of buffing, very greasy as someone said, then shampooed with the autoglym with double concentrated mixture, looks as though its all come off but until better light i wont be able to tell. So glad id only managed to do half the car by the time it got wet!
