Wnat is the difference between caulk and sealant?
they're both used for the same purpose i.e. fill joints and cracks between building materials. They're also both applied with a caulking gun. sealant is used when there will be expansion and contraction and thermal changes. caulk is recommended in a opposite scenario where expansion and contraction are not an issue because caulk will eventually dry and crack if there's movement. caulk can be painted, sealant cannot.

After that, clean the area with mineral spirits to get any grease or soap residue off.Make sure it's completely dry. Apply a 100% pure silicone to the seam.

How do you caulk windows yourself?
Use an exterior window caulk. If you plan to paint over it make sure it is "paintable" caulk. Run the bead of caulk using a caulking gun. You can smooth out the bead with your finger and clean up any residual caulk with a wet rag (this clean uo only works if the caulk is water based...check the tube to make sure it is....it's easier if it is) If you use silicone caulk you can't paint it and you cannot clean up any errors with a wet rag so unless you are real exact in applying the bead I would avoid this type of caulk.
