Don't use a coin operated car wash vac. 1) you can be electrocuted, they are grounded but are not wet vacs. 2) it ruins the filter bags and can short a motor. Use only a wet/dry type vac.
I own a car wash and have fools sucking water all the time and it can kill you.

Check with dealer's service dept. Some cars have electronic modules under the seat. Don't know if tht's true for the Z. If electronics get soaked, you could be in for some serious problems down the road.

Do you have power seats?

Go to Home Depot and get a Dessicant kit. It is basically like the silca gel packets you find with some foods or electronics and it absorbs moisture like a charm. It is pretty cheap to.
