Rain in the forecast, damn! To wash or not to wash...(Time sensitive 5/12/09)

As much as I love driving my car in the elements I also enjoy giving my car the full hand wash and wax treatment every once in a while. As being such, I haven't hand washed my car since last October. I have been taking it to those touchless spray washes just to keep it clean during the winter. I know, I know the automatic washes can be dangerous, heard it before. I just hate hand washing in the winter and standing out in the cold, plus I'm a little lazy too. Anyways, that's besides the point.

As it stands right now, the weather in the DC area has warmed up enough to where I'm comfortable doing the hand wash thing. Unfortunately, these past couple of weeks in May have been deluded with rain. I finally have a three day stretch this week where it looks like I'll be able to wash, clay bar(for the first time), and wax/detail my ride. Of course after that it's back to rain

So the question is, do I bite the bullet and just finally detail my car now after seven months of no hand wash and let the rain come? OR Do I wait another week or so in the event that the rain goes away longer than a stretch of a few days? HELP!
