I'd imagine that it'd make the plastics all cloudy and oily. Would be a problem if it were to rain and it would run

I use it on everything. Does not leave an oily residue like Armorall. My original application of 303 was for my rubber dingy. Can usually be found at Marine stores.

Same here, I use it on everything plastic and rubber. Use it extensively on the engine bay, it lasts much longer than anything else I've tried, never had a problem with it turning cloudy. My only complaint is for the interior I find it just a bit too shiny I wish it has a lower sheen.

303 is better on the interiors and some exterior rubber trims

for headlight plastic, it is better to use wax on it i think

On acrylic I use a synthetic wax. I've used 303 on tires it works fine, although I prefer a tire specific product. On the engine bay I put it on everything that is not metal basically.

Wet your microfiber towel and run it around the rubber gasket for your sunroof.

I don't use it for cleaning, but actually for protecting it after cleaning.
