You can wipe it all clean of dust and dirt and spray it with satin black (or matt black) automotive paint - but it's nothing like original. It will just seal in the sticky and create a new, non-sticky surface.

I recommend this :

Apologies - I assumed you'd be stripping it down to do any refurb work...

In which case, I have no suggestions apart from a new casing fitted by an approved B&O Service Center.

Other methods may work, but I've never found any (not to say there aren't any!_

Those "soft-touch" surfaces are one of the worst inventions in recent time 😡 -like using "foam-rings" in speaker units instead of rubber... 😕

But the decomposition of the surface seems to be dependent on the environment in which it has been stored (humidity etc.).

I have bought two (secondhand) Beocenter 2 systems. On one of them, the socket-box was fine -on the other it was sticky.

I spray painted the surfaces with matte black paint. But offcourse you'll have to take it apart - or cover the parts that shall not be painted, with plastic/tape. 

hi

as thay suggest..it's best if you stip it total...so you have only plastic parts..

1. only clean with iysopropanol .

2..spray first with car paint prymer 5x ..sandpaper it to nice to a beautiful flat finish. 

3.spray  black matt paint. ..do it from 50cm ,,,5x thin. so you get nice finished surface :)

i do that with BS4 or BL3 or Beosound 2 socket unit
