can either the 303 or Optimum Protectant Plus be used on the plastic parts behind the hood where the windshield wipers are? which would you recommend?

Yes! Either one is just fine.

We use 303 in the engine bay all the time.

Chiming in also and +1 for 303.

Been using it for many years and love it. On the few occasions whenever I thought there were a bit too much sheen, I simply use a microfiber towel and wipe and the results would be much less sheen.

Will there be any ill effects sitting in the sun all day?

No - the product is meant to be applied to exterior trim. In fact, it is often used on boats, RVs, and other types of vehicles frequently too.

The superior protection this product provides is critical to the long term care of your vehicle. The 303 Protectant is great to use on your vehicle's rubber (tires, seals, hoses), vinyl (dashboard, doors, armrests, interior and exterior trim, engine casings, convertible tops), plastic (car bras, gauges, grills, trim, convertible's soft windows), leather (seats, trim) and so much more. This versatile product gives all of these surfaces valuable conditioners and protection that will keep each surface looking new and fresh for years to come with regular treatments. The tires, leather seats, exterior trim and dashboard often get prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays so it's important to thoroughly protect those surfaces. Keeping your interior looking clean and dust free can be challenging, but the 303 Protectant is up to the challenge. Applying the 303 Protectant to your dashboard, arm rests, seats and doors will help repel dust, dirt and human oils from collecting. Many other dressings are oily and greasy which can actually attract dust and dry out the surface. Any surface you apply Aerospace Protectant to will leave behind a beautiful matte finish. For best results just apply one nice thin coating and you'll instantly notice the beautiful finish it leaves behind!

True!
Bought my first bottle back in the mid '90's at a marine store for a boat I owned.
No more boat but have been using 303 on my interior ever since on my vehicles.
I love the stuff and buy it by the gallon.

Im a new user of 303, and when I say new, I mean only a few months.
The only thing I don't like about 303, is the scent that it leaves behind.
I have been detailing my car in the afternoon then park it in the garage with the windows up.
My car still has that slightly new leather smell inside of it that I love, and usually after I go over the inside with it, I smell the 303 for a while afterwards and Im not too keen on it.
Also, 303 does not seem to leave a "sheen" on the areas where I wipe with it. It shines initially but the shine usually fades away to a dull appearance.

Anyone use this on headlights with any long-term success?

Kind of paranoid about haze buildup and scratches.

do you guys use 303 on the leather seats? is there a better product you'd recommend using over it for seats?

I've used leather conditioners in the past.
Leather conditioners can't penetrate the leather's vinyl coating so I've been using 303.Mainly for UV protection on my black leather.
Leather Masters makes a good protectant called Leather Protection Cream.I've used it but the product doesn't have any UV protection.Good for light interior to help prevent staining,though.

Has anybody tried using 303 on the later model Nulux seats....full detailing my new 3IS Fsport with Roja Red seats next week. Using some on the dash but was wondering if it works on the seats just as well. <br >
