Except in areas where the air quality is so bad that the rain just ends up making your car dirtier :\

Some mining towns had problems where their smelter fumes when mixed with the rain created an acidic rain that stripped paint off of cars. There was daily wind monitoring used to help settle the insurance claims.

That's what clouds are right? Basically water and dust?

That's what cloud seeding is based on. They introduce particulates for the drops to form around and fall.
