is it sticky or tacky?
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

I'm pretty sure it's not a variation but do to environmental exposure to something in the home.  Sometimes it's just like a real vehicle and the paint will clean up with some car polish or a gentle wash with soft scrub.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
