How do I clean the gauge face of my ammeter/temp./ oil pressure gauges?

Some of the white painting(?) on the gauge faces has a yellow tinge to it- can it be cleaned easily?
Looking for a magic solvent to wipe away 40 years of age....lol

You can clean those (not likely to look much better though unless they are just dusty) but don't touch the speedo or fuel. With a little damp rag or even your finger you can accidentally rub off the markings...
