how big of a piece of plastic is it, and how much bondo. Bondo doesn't stick especially well to plastic, so if you pry at it with a scewdriver or something it should pry/chip off. If you just got it smudged on there then you could take sandpaper and get it off, but it will probably scuff the plastic too.

fiberglass reminds me of peanut brittle... but fiberglass tastes better!

depending how thick it is on the plastic you could you a dish sponge and water and basically wet sand it off...

if it is a glob then carefully pry at it..it should pop off..

I agree with crazy, I just got done doing a lil work on my car and had an interior panel get some bondo on it and I just took a sponge and it came off pretty easy and I was using the Bondo-Glass so bondo should come off even easier.

thanks for the help! btw for your info, then panel only has some smears, and little patches on it. i will try the wet sanding idea as well i think... kinda strange why it stuck like this..

thanks,
