304 Protectant must be buffed dry, or else it will remain greasy and attract dirt.

Use what ever water based dressing you like. Just make sure you are not using a silicone based dressing because it can harm some of the components of the engine.
I personally use Hyper dressing but Perl or Opti-Bond would also work well.

I use Adam's in and Out or Meguiar's D4510 Plastic & Vinyl Coating.
Both work great and are easy to use.

I get more even coverage by lightly wiping leaving a bit of excess so it absorbs in. I do however use it under wheel wells by simply spray on and walk away and it works fine.

Re: Engine bay dressing-- what do you use?
I've used everything from Griot's Garage Engine Bay Dressing (GREAT product), 303 protectant (how can you go wrong) and just got VRT which I've heard great things about, will go down to the garage at halftime of the Hotspurs and Man U game in a bit and apply some, thanks to this thread.

Hyper dressing is hard to beat. Super inexpensive and always produce great results. But, anything water based is probably ok. As long as it dries without causing stains, you can use it.

Re: Engine bay dressing-- what do you use?
I guess I'm the odd one here.
I use a fine mist sprayer, mf towel and a blower. 1-2 minutes and done.
Products? I have most of the products mentioned here and honestly it hasn't made much of a difference (it's hidden, out of the weather.). I typically use what I didn't like on the exterior (with the exception being I don't use gel like products there).
