Hello all, is there a effective way to remove the " Stickiness " that forms on Camera bodies please ??

Isopropyl alcohol

Pentax cameras generally don't get too bad and the 91% isopropyl that you get at drug stores works well. Nikon and Canon cameras have a sticky that can't be fixed by cleaning since the goo goes all the way down. I've had luck with painting over the goo with matte black model paint. It works for a while anyway.

A dusting of talc will work, for a while, albeit discolouring the surface slightly, but once the "rubber" starts to degrade it doesn't get better, in my experience
