Is it too late to clean a quartz bulb if I have touched it during
installation?
I will have already deposited skin oils and grease.

Grease on the halogen lamp may cause explosion as it gets hot and
blackens the grease, which then heats up more than some other points on
the glass, causing "unbalanced" thermal expansion resulting in
shattering of the glass.

You would probably need to apply the grease with a butter knife! In my
experience contamination tends to lead to de-vitrification of the quartz
envelope and early failure but I've never had one burst. I always
believed that it was the salts from your fingerprints that did the real
damage - diffusing into the silica - but of course you need to dissolve
the finger grease with alcohol before you can wipe off all the salts.
