Trackpad lost its smooth surface

Kind of optional to answer, but anyone know how to bring back the smooth surface of the trackpad?

I cleaned my Macbook Pro with a paper towel slightly wet with Windex, wiping it completely, screen, keyboard, and trackpad. After that I was using the trackpad and it was pretty rough to use, it was almost like passing your fingers on a glass window. I've looked up online and read that wiping with Windex was not a good suggestion, so I took a paper towel wet slightly with just water and wiped the Macbook completely. It made the trackpad smooth again but not as before, and gets rough to use easily when my fingers are slightly sweaty.

Any suggestions on how to make the trackpad smoothly glide fingers again?

Macbook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009), Mac OS X (10.6.3), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory
