Dry with cloth and spray with protector.
Doesn't take long.

you gotta be really unlucky to actually do any damage or short anything out.
Just use common sense and take it easy over any connections and exhaust wrapping you may have on.
Always start asap and leave it to run for a bit to then evaporate any water puddles left over and get it out of the spinning bits. Then apply your protectant, sit back and enjoy.
