Default Go ahead and use it.

You might get a little hazing within 24 hours. So what? Go over it with a microfiber cloth, maybe some detailing spray if it's stubborn. Hardly a big deal, and certainly not a reason <i>not</i> to use it, IMO. And you may not see any hazing at all. Don't apply late in the day when humidity is highest. Use sparingly. Let it dry. Buff off well.

Default yes it hazes.

..it may not be a problem for ppl with light or monotone colored cars.

microfiber and some distilled water will clear it up though. along the lines of what rickm said, the hazing is not a big deal since you should be going over the car again anyway after a time consuming paste wax job.

i was never impressed with blitz paste honestly. i switched back to malco stuff for now.
