We've had SWMBO's new car for a few days now and with the recent rain whatever the dealer put on the plastics has come off to reveal a healthy amount of polish residue on them.
So my questions is, what is the best stuff to get this off with?? Also I normally use AG bumper care on the GTI to keep the plastic looking good but I find it a bit messy and gunky and was wondering what else I could use as an alternative??

G101?

I hate AG bumper care.
I normally use some kind of APC and a stiff brush - my preferred is Meg's Triple Duty brush. Others swear on a pencil eraser.

I usually use AG Vinyl and Rubber Care sprayed onto a cloth and wiped on , or Meguiars Tech Protectorant. I dont know if it would remove polish but its miles better than the green gooey Bumper Care , Ive never used that for years - far too messy!

Cheers guys, going through the detailing sites now as my halfruads don't seem to keep stock of anything

something that has worked in the past for me, was using window cleaner and toothbrush on the plastic.
Once cleaned off, I use luke warm Linseed oil on the plastic. Keeps black for months. Always gives the nice wet sheen too.
