Can I wax my windshield and front side windows?

There is no reason to do this. Your windows already have factory water repellent glass. You are just ruining the factory repelling nature of the glass by waxing it. The most you should do is clay bar the window with low to mild clay on a regular basis. This will keep the glass clean and ready to repel water.

Question... I did the baggie thing on my LS. Paint looks great and was smooth wind my bare hand but boy was it rough with the baggie. As a litmus test I went to my wife's 2010 Navigator and did the same... It was much rougher than mine.... could her paint be tainted already? The qualifier here is that my car was waxed yesterday and hers is in need of a wash...
On the Navigator..... just because the car is new doesn't mean the paint is clean. That car could have been built 6 months ago and sat outside for all that time. It sounds like it needs clay bar, then a complete detail. Ford paint will never be 100% smooth unless you wet sand, then re-clear, then wet sand again. It is full of orange peel and is generally cheap, thin and fairly hard in nature.

Interesting.. thanks. No, I haven't clayed either yet. I was just checking it out. In San Antonio we have the Oak pollen everywhere so my freshly waxed paint has a green hue. Once the pollen is gone (about another two weeks) I will do it. Thanks again for your input.
