My 38-5 dial plastic is pretty filthy, I assume that using some water on this to help clean off the dust and residue is safe? I'm not going to wipe off the dial markings or anything am I?

Second, the dial is discolored (darker) on part of the face, I assume this is from sun, heat, and so forth, is this reversible or is it just one of those things that happens with age and I should live with? Doesn't bother me but if there is a way to address it then I would (Short of a new dial)
