Possibly, in general yes. But it's still depends on if you leave the hose running when not in use. Plus if you go to a carwash it's just a waste, that doesnt save any water cause of the rain.

yes, because it decreases run off water. See, when you like wash your car or deflate a pool or something all the water (that's on the cement) is now run off water, run off water usually finds it's way to a lake or river but on it's way, it picks up many contaminants from the grounds and roads. Most of the time this body of water is a means of liquid for an entire town or county. Many of these contaminants also float thru purification screenings so they end up in people's home. So by washing in the rain (which is a super cool and good idea) you are helping the bodies of water and the water supply to!
Good Question! Hope I helped! Good Luck!

If your only using rain water to wash your car, yes, but you should also be using biodegradable soap to help save the environment.

We have frequent water bans in the summer, so we have large barrels at the end of our downspouts to collect rainwater. We use it to wash cars, water plants, etc. It saves on the water, and uses a free resource

put a brick in the back of your toilet tank to help displace some of the water. showering takes less than baths, replace flowering plants with colored gravel, no watering lawn that way. make sure your washer is full, dont do just one or two things at a time. make sure dishwasher is full if you use one.

It takes 5000 gallons of water to produce one pound of edible beef.
If you skipped that 16 ounce (that is one pound) restraunt burger you were planning to have for dinner, you'd be saving MUCH more water.

yes, you're not using clean water to wash your car, so you save water.
