Just washed the car, and we get a 5 min rain storm..

I just washed my car last night because the next 5 days are going to be nice (doesn't happen often here in Pittsburgh) Figures we got a 5 min rain storm this morning, is it safe to go over the car with some QD and a micro fiber to touch it up?

Yea, that should be fine. That is basically what QD is used for, between washes.

Thanks, I just feel hesitant wiping the car down without washing it first for fear of swirl marks. Ill give it a try.

just make sure you use a couple of MF's, help keep what little bit of dust caught up in the MF.

Just do a small section and see how it turns out. If okay, then do the whole car.

Should be good to go with a quality QD and MF. Just "roll" the MF when wiping though to move any contaminants away from the surface.......
