If its mud it must be scratched into the plastic. I would try to blast it clean with a high pressure steam cleaner or rub it out with an abrasive plastic cleaner. Just a thought.

I spray the fender undersides and suspension with anti-stick cooking spray before riding to keep mud from sticking. After riding I coat the whole bike with a 50/50 mix of Simple Green and water using a tank sprayer. After letting this soak for 5 minutes rinse with either a pressure washer or strong stream from a hose. Thats all and the bike is clean. For really stubborn spots, a little hand scrubbing might be needed, but that is rare.

My Grizzly is green. A white bike might be a little more of a challenge to get clean.

Yea keep the greased lighting away from aluminum, I sprayed the motor of my 250ex with it and it turned it almost black, made me sick. but if you keep it away from that its fine, it workes wonders on plastic and white letters on tires.

Try some foaming tire cleaner. I have seen that stuff work wonders in getting mud & stuff off my engine where I can't reach with my hands. Just spray it on, let it foam up, give it a minute or two and then hit with the pressure washer.

I use either superclean or purple passion or any of the auto degreasers because they will not hurt the look of any aluminum and they remove mud and dirt very well.
