I love the protection of 303 but I want a lil more "look" if you know what I mean. The looks of 303 are great but not long lasting by any means. What can I top over 303 that isn`t greasy and oily? Anything OTC??

I`ve come to like CD-2 (you can find it at Autozone) for some decent bling under the hood. It`s a little oily, but I spray it on and run the motor till it`s warm and it usually dries itself up to a nice sheen without the oilyness after a couple minutes.
I have heard it`s getting harder to find. (or was for a while)

+1. on the CD2...it`s the best I`ve seen (from a cosmetic viewpoint).

What kind of a finish does it leave? My engine bay is pretty much spotless...

it leaves a nice sheen. It really is the best looking product of its type that I`ve sampled. Dust attraction isn`t too bad. The stuff does seem to evaporate away, that would be the only con.

CD-2 will last longer and attract much less dust than anything I have ever use. I use it on wheel wells and the weekly washes are a breeze!

So this CD2 product...I simply spray down everything in the engine bay with it and let it do it`s thing or do I need to cover up some parts? Should I apply 303 for protection before applying the CD2?

cd-2 is an engine dressing. It will dry to a dry state.
