Have you tried lighter fuel. Great for removing sticky stuff from tape & stickers. Also cleaning surfaces like car grills from grease before spray painting.

I would probably use "Acetone" as it's cheeper than chips

Try lighter fuel before acetone. Acetone is more likely to have an issue with paint or plastics. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

This is likely to be part of the door moulding which has degraded with age, possibly after contact with oily hands but maybe just age/car in the sun etc ... I do a lot of electronics servicing and I've seen it happen often with plastic control knobs on equipment.

t's actually the unsuitable cleaning products that cause this described part to become sticky. One day, someone used APC (All Purpose Cleaner) from Meguiar's on my car on this area, and since then, it's become sticky. It's very unpleasant to touch, indeed |

I had the same with mine. Felt nasty. I'm under the impression that it was a soft-touch coating applied at manufacture that hasn't held up well. Early 2000s German cars had a lot of this sort of thing, a matte rubber coating that rubbed off and left shiny patches. Some cameras and other instruments seemed to suffer in storage the same way, some off-gassing breaking down the rubber coatings and turning them into sticky goo that resisted all my non-mechanical means of rectification.
