Welcome to the Phorum!
Some of the guys who are really good at cabinets may have some different thoughts but if its still the original decals with original lacquer finish, a little GoJo (without pumice) on a cotton swab with a light touch should get any dirt and grime off. After that you are down to the lacquer over the decal and I would think messing with that will only make things worse. A light swipe with lacquer thinner would take some of the lacquer off and might do what you are looking for.
If it were mine and I wasn't going to refinish it, I'd just do the GoJo cleaning. (they actually look pretty good to me as is)
