Windex works, armor all will leave a nice shine on it, but a greasy film on your hand[:@]

What are you cleaning it with? Sounds like you are cleaning it with an acidic cleaner that is eating away at the plastic and the stickyness is the residue. You should only clean it with windex or a cleaner with a neutral Ph.
