For the textured control panels I clean them with a cotton ball and some strong chemicals

Not really that strong, a product called "Sandpaper in a can" and the main ingredient is high flash naptha. Works wonders on the textured stuff and doesn't do any damage (because it evaporates in a few seconds, which is why I use a cotton ball to minimize the area I am working on)
For the sides I usually use a concentrated lemon cleaner, without dilluting it. Haven't ever had it pull paint or sideart colors off. Pulls a lot of dirt off though.
