Sadly probably not  🙁 . You may be able to improve it by using Brasso or Dur-a-glit but most likely the UV in daylight has reacted with the plastic and caused it to go cloudy. As this affects the plastic right through, there is little you can do. The one on mine is also quite brittle and I've had to 'rebuild' the centre hub with Araldite.

Maybe others have ideas for improving the dial.
