Just wondering if anyone have any advice on cleaning off sticky residuals that has developed over time on the soft touch black plastic components of Beolab speakers? I was told they don’t come off once that happens...

It's a nightmare, I have had it on so many pieces, 2 beocom 2 chargers for a start
sadly i am now having trouble with a beosound 6 I received from Evan a year ago, the black plastic parts have started to go sticky, very annoying indeed
There are some videos on Youtube where they cleaned the sticky thing with alcohol.
Think it all depends on how bad shape it is in.

I just clean it with benzin or isopropanol and than spray it with Plastidip.
I had some tools where the rubber had degenerated to a horrible sticky feel. I used an IPA spray and a bit of elbow grease with a cloth and now they are like new. You could try some rubbing alcohol if you have any cos its basically IPA. (Isopropylalcohol) Not drinkable BTW!
I do agree
Hello, I can just tell you mi experience with a Beolab 7.2. it got sticky after some years. According yo a friend of mine, expert in metal treatments and painting, I provided to dismount it from the television (Beovision 7-40), and disassembly it completely. Then, I provided to treat the aluminium shell with nitro thinner, then rubbing it with a cloth, until all the sticky black plastic went away. The black paint that remained on the shell was non perfect, but good, so no further treatment was necessary. So I provided to re-assembly everything, then mounting the loudspeaker on its place. I am very satisfied with it.
