electrical contact cleaner is the best possible thing to clean those buttons out.
The only draw back is its so strong it will wipe the decals right off your buttons if your not gentle.
So if you get some, try to spray it directly into the cracks and DON'T wipe over the buttons, just tap it lightly to dry it.

But hey, now that I've attracted your attention, auditech, any suggestions on how to gently deface the console so I don't bend it or break it? I have a tendency to do that. Quite alot.

Don't remove anything. Just gently spray contact cleaner into the small cracks with the attached nozzle. Then work the buttons back and forth and sop up the crud with the edge of a clean paper towel. Do not rub the buttons themselves

Contact cleaner didnt work for me, and I did several applications. My buttons are only sort of sticky though. They all work ok in the summer, but when winter comes, Im fukced. Im pretty sure you need to remove the radio in order to get the HVAC face plate off.

****, are you positive I have to remove the radio to get that panel off? I played around with it for a bit yesterday, it seemed to be able to come off without any alteration to the radio panel.

I highly don't recommend taking off the A/C control head cover, more than likely your gonna break off a button or two then you need a brand new A/C control head.
Now if its really gummed up remove the A/C control head and spray the living hell out of it from the top of it, about 2 cans worth of electrical cleaner and watch what comes out of the bottom. IT WILL WORK.

If I remove the panel and spray the **** out of the buttons, where is the gunk going to seep out to?

Then i would say pull that bad boy out of there and spray it from the top and let that goop fall out the bottom. The electrical contact cleaner will eventually dissolve it all, you just need enough of it.
