Don't get me wrong Pat, I'm not saying the your car is hazed - I'd never make an assumption since I've never seen your car. What I'm saying is nobody recommends using plain water for a lubricant because water itself is not a good lubricant. It's not a best practice situation, and that's something I always try to avoid.

Further, just because it hasn't hazed your paint doesn't mean it won't haze someone elses paint, or cause other issues, no matter how easy they may be to correct. Not all paint systems react identically to the same techniques, processes, chemicals, etc. Again, it's like the guys with the water blades saying "it's never scratched my car". I'd rather empty the gun than dodge the bullets, that's all.
