Lighter fluid will take the sticky residue of off anything!

This depends on the plastic really. Goof Off is about the safest alone with lighter fluid.
Do not use fingernail polish remover nor acetone as these are the same and these will "melt" most plastics it comes in contact with.
Lacquer thinner will remove them instantly and words great on painted surfaces. But on some plastics, lacquer softens/melts that as well.
Paint thinner will remove them as well and is weaker.
I would not use brake fluid, gas, etc like I am sure others will state. These will discolor your plastic.
A good wax will also ball up that residue and allow it to come off as well.
If you use any chemicals, wipe it on the underside of the plastic first to see if it makes it soft or makes the towel stick to the plastic. Then use it on the showing surface.

WD-40. Works every time. Non-petroleum based, non-acetate based, so it won't melt plastic or remove paint like nail polish remover or lighter fluid will. Spray it on, give it ten seconds or so to soak in, then rub the gunk off. May take a few times to get it all, but it will come off.

Heat it with a hair dryer. Next wipe on Goo Goo Gone and let it soak in. Then using the hair dryer and a plastic card, scrape it off.

You need to get a wax and adhesive remover sold at pepboys / auto zone or mostly any auto parts.
this stuff will work with some rubbing. then you wash it with a degreaser like simple green.

You can try Goof-Off, but it may damage plastic. Goo Gone might be better, as it is citrus based instead of petroleum based.

Use a product called "Goof-Off" which you can get at WalMart, etc.
