this is the famous wax sweating. its caused when the wax starts to cure and harden, the oils evaporate to the top causing that hazy look. The cold water or qd helps remove the oils and well as level the wax giving it a great shine.

I have heard the reason only the higher end waxes do it is because they use oils instead of solvents to soften the wax. Sovlent evaporate no problem but oils require alittle more help.

a quick wipedown a few hours latr or a wash after a few days should solce the problem
