Take a look at the product information sheets at por15.com, the one for metal ready is here: http://www.por15.com/Data%20Sheets/metal%20ready%20q%20and%20a%20sheet.pdf 

It definitely says rinse off and dry thoroughly and expains why, I did it on mine.

It takes a fair amount of rinsing to get it off once its dried on, it seemed to come off easier if I gave it a light spray with the metal ready again before the wash.
