I have two stored in my basement right now- one is fine and the other one has the sticky gunk described. I agree a thorough understanding of what the stuff is would steer us in the right direction for removing it.

This is what a guy from the gm body shop told me and I read it somewhere in a magazine but cant find the article and dont remember what they used to clean the plastic ones, but i remember that they went to a leather cleaner they got from a leather saddle shop, dont know the name of the product they used just know it was used for cleaning leather horse saddles.
