There is provided a portable wand system having a wand applicator, a wand controller subsystem, a selector assembly, an indicator element, and a power assembly. The wand controller subsystem includes a computer program, and a memory unit storing paths learned and recorded during a learn mode, by an operator manually moving the wand applicator. The paths include desired paths in stay-in zones to be surface treated, and include stay-out zone paths in, or near, stay-out zones to be avoided. The portable wand system is used in an operation mode to measure the operator manually moving the wand applicator in operation paths, based on the desired paths. For a selected stay-in zone, the portable wand system compares the operation path to the desired path, and indicates when the operation path deviates from the desired path, and when the wand applicator is in proximity to, and oriented towards, the stay-out zones.
