Default Paint And Rain

Ok so ill be picking up my Car back from the paint shop, but i have one major concern. I will be driving it back and it might be raining. I cant leave it at the shop any longer and it is a 200 mile drive back. Any Suggestions if it starts to rain on me, do i dry it when i get home or let it air dry. Will the rain affect the paint??

Rinse off the car w/ clean water when you get home, then dry it with microfiber drying towel. Rain or water droplets will leave water marks on fresh paint if its not dried off and left on the surface for a period of time. Water marks on fresh paint can be removed with buffing and/or polishing, so you should be all good.
