You’re at home…. with water, and a hose. I would definitely spray it off with a hose. If it’s not completely cleaned after that, get your bucket of water with car wash in it and a soft sponge and wash it again with plenty of water and soap. Then rinse again. This is much less abrasive than a bristled shop vac sucking up cement dust. No big deal how you do it really, but you need to clean it off.
Many car washes contain silicone as a gloss enhancer which can create headaches when you get ready to paint. Dish detergent is probably a better choice.
We park and fly our planes in rain all the time. I don’t get the aversion to using soap and water to wash that nasty cement dust off. Original Dawn dish soap is a good choice. A vacuums is never going to get the cement dust off 100% by itself.
