i take it you mean the flat black ones rather than painted?

if yes, white spirit imo. then once you put your stickers on soap water wash down. then go over with something like autoglym bumper care. personally i like to use zymol creame wax on the exterior plastics. leaves a lovely satin finish.

basically as long as you don;t use anything that will leave the surface with a coating before putting the stickers on you'll be fine

Nothing to add, spot on advice from Matt as usual, the only difference to my method would be to use a strong degreaser rather than white spirit, but that's just a personal preference.
