It looks like fabric remnants becomes stick to it and when sitting on it and getting up will hear a familiar peeling sound. The topcoat has deteriorated and will need a refreshing new application to solve the sticky problem as follows:
1st The surface soiling has to be removed and this is best done with Degreaser-2.2 working with the Eraser-4 to remove all sticking residue off with sponge extraction.
2nd Surface is rinse to a squeaky clean with Acidifier-2.0.
3rd When dry any roughness is sand accordingly.
4th Crosslinker-25 is transfer into the BicastTop-76G and mixed well before application of your choice, best is with a varnishing soft brush to reduce streaks. Airbrushing will give professional result.
5th Let dry in-between coats and sanding an option to smoothen the original roughness or surface undulating effect.
6th When dry Protector-B+ application will impart a smooth buttery-feel non-stick surface for immediately use when dry.
