Most plastics have a mold release on them from manufacturing. Try acetone to clean the plastic and see if you can get something to stick (like tape) then apply reflective material.

I'd try acetone in an inconspicuous place first, to ensure that it doesn't harm the plastic. You might be better off with lacquer thinner or alcohol.
