I'm not sure if you have this product available, but I highly recommend it:

Probably more work than you want, but religiously (frequently) I use this product on the arches of my Lotus. Makes removing muck a snap:

Properly clean off all the dirt first then on a NON windy day spray some Autoglym vinyl & rubber care on the plastic then polish it in with an old microfibre cloth (other cloths are fine). I use this when prepping my cars for a show/event. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
