Quite some time ago I spent a long time getting to the bottom of a problem on a Kenwood UD70 'integrated separates' audio system - I sorted it in the end but the one thing which was beyond me was doing something about the overall (undoubtedly rather nice originally) 'warm rubber' coating which was starting to turn into sticky gunge.

Sonically, the unit was lovely and punched well above its weight, but cosmetically, it was just a year or three from its final journey to the breaker's yard.
