I've never tried Windex, but 409 cleaner severely dulled a set of Bakelite knobs on me a long time ago. Since then I've never had to go any stronger than a good soak with spray Pledge.

Agree with TA on the metal polish if needed. I had a pretty dull Motorola 56H and my (current) favorite metal polish (Satin Gloss) made the cabinet and knobs look like new.... I was impressed.
