Try it with rubbing alcohol first - just keep it away from the optics, and you may get lucky. The only thing that ever seems to work with these is an abrasive cream cleaner (jif/cif or similar) - you just have to use lots of cream and be careful not to polish the optics - unfortunately the stickiness will come back quicker than before though. I haven't tried myself, but i have heard that once you have carried out the cream cleaner routine, you can paint the unit - ask your hardware shop what sort of rubbery paints they have - ideally oil based and not acrylic. It wont last as long as the original finish or like quite as good, but it should stop the stickiness for a while at least. Try and keep your binoculars out of the sun - most of the stickiness is either caused by that, or contact with a damaging chemical such as most insect repellents, or petroleum products. Hope this helps :)

Find some methanol. The local hardware store should have some in the paint section. Use paper towels and wipe, wipe, wipe....
Soak and lightly rub an area for 10 seconds or so, then use a dry section of towel to wipe and mop up any goo that has been solved. You may not see much improvement at first, keep at it. It took me nearly an hour to get mine completely clean of all goo and residue.
Take care not to splash the meth/goo mix onto the optics, shutter, etc. Once the solvent alcohol evaporates, any dissolved glop will precipitate out and muck things up.
