If its a swirl removal and correction job, YES. If I just wanna strip my paint or top it with something different then I'll wait until I have a day or two of clear skies.

If my car is filthy, and it's still gonna keep raining, then I'll still give it a wash just to stop the heavy grime from accumulating and making it more difficult to clean afterwards.

if you are applying a good wax or sealant then i would make sure you have at least 24 hours or so to let it cure. but yeah keep up with the washing even if it is going to rain, it will take much more effort to clean if you let the dirt build up!
