Dried wid drying towel
Applied meg 26 yellow paste wax which was procured from @ahmad_yar through @aakbar (thanks to both of u sir)

I have few questions regarding wax application,

How to apply wax? In circular motion and a v thin nd even layer??

Is there any curing time for 26 nmbr wax? I mean should I simply apply it and buff it off after it gets hazed, or should I leave it for 3 to 5 mins??

wats the approx time for hazing and how to check it??

Guys I want to know whether a glass cleaner would be useful to clean my car's window which is looking not so good as children have swept their fingers over it. Feeling PISSED.

3M Glass Cleaner is the best option

Yes you should apply the wax exactly as you described.

To check or hazing, there is a simple finger swipe test. Swipe your finger over a waxed area and if that area is clear with no hazing or wax residue left then it means it is time to buff off the wax. Nowadays it would take more time to haze up because of the weather whereas in summers the wax can haze up in a few minutes.

First of all thanks for such a detailed guide , but since I had a very busy week, wasnt able to go to shopping for my wife(car ) so scheduled out some time from tomorrow. I just need to know that whats "seal" in detailing terms and how do I do that and with which product? And also needs to know the difference between wax and compound.

Thanks.

Thanks dear, actually headlights are clear... its the indicators on both sides which are hazing. I will change them or put orange cellophane paper on them
Yeah some other PWheelers also told to repaint the bumper but waiting till i get my card roof touched then will paint bumper along.

Good work .... Put silicon on its seams otherwise u will have moisture inside .... And the chrome inside will get rusty .... Seal it asap

thanks dear, headlights are actually well sealed... the hazing was (as i think) due to the burnt headlight bulb by previous owner.. you know when bulbs crack and emit yellowish smoke of burned tungsten

headlights looking better now

How did u cleaned it from inside without opening front plastic covers? By using the bulb holes?

You got it right ..... Check the first pic and you will see tissue paper wrapped on knitting needle ......it was very tough as I was able to remove only bulb and not the bulb cover.....but managed to do it (H)
