nope never. depending what stage you got to it's important to wash it down again and even start over. i have a gazebo that i put up when it looks like rain. have even been out there machine polishing in a thunder storm

you should try doing a full valet in a thunderstorm, thats fun

i have seen people come in for a carwash while a full blown blizzard was "kicking off" outside

We use leaf blowers and woolly dusters... washing in the rain is the least of our concerns.
