Default What did I do wrong

Took my new Black Z06 out today for the first time, weather is finally getting better. Came home and gave it a Z7 wash and after I dried it the car hazed over bad . So I try a little Z8 and it looks good for about a minute then hazes over again WTF. The car has the full Zaino treatment and looked awesome befor I washed it! So what is going on. Please let me know if this has happened to any of you guys.

According to his profile he's in Fairbanks Alaska. I checked out weather.com and it says the high for today is supposed to be 35 degrees and sunny.

Zane, you were right. I thought I let the car warm up enough in my garage befor I washed it, but that and the humidity from washing it in the garage is what caused the hazing. This morning all is well as it was before . This is very typical of me to overreact .
