Default Cracks on dash

Last winter the jag had to stay on the driveway and a few cracks developed on the dash panel wood trim; I don't believe the wood is cracked just the clear coat over it.









I was told there is a liquid that you can apply with a small brush that will seal the crack and then you wet sand with super fine grit sandpaper and it will look as good as new. Does anyone have information on this product? or how to fix these cracks without having to remove the pieces and re-veneering them?
Thanks in advance.

From what I have seen on eBay, most of the replacement parts available have the same issue, so I will guess it is not that uncommon and I would think there must be a simple solution. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There is a bulletin on jagrepair.com about this.

Thank you for the information. It looks like it is a common issue (most replacement panels on eBay have the same cracking), but the Jaguar solution (Madera Concepts) is expensive and probably not feasible for the average 10 year or older car.
As I mentioned before, an acquaintance mentioned a product that can be applied by a small brush, much like nail polish, wet sanded and produces good results. I was hoping someone in the Forum had used it. Maybe I just need to learn to live with the cracks.
