Initially thought it might be some plastic scraper used by someone to clear out wax in the grooves after a polish and wax, but to see it on 2 different cars in 2 different places... makes me wonder if it was something which factory had accidentally left it there.

Cheers!
It's the factory protective film. Your dealer vehicle prep did a half arse job of removing the film and prepping the vehicle(s).

Here's an example of what the vehicle looks like when shipped from the factory:
