In my case it was the veneer itself that was cracked and peeling up.  I was
able to easily peel up the old veneer and then I glued down a new walnut
veneer (https://www.constantines.com/walnutburl2.aspx).  It turned out
pretty good after many, many coats of clear finish (
https://www.rockler.com/general-finishes-arm-r-seal-urethane-top-coat-gloss=
).
I also used the rub-on letters from Paul Breuhan.

Have fun,
Joe Brown

I did the same as Joe. The finish was bonded like crazy to the dash. The =
veneer came off with the finish so I re-veneered it with a burled walnut =
veneer and re-did the lettering. Best of luck!

I'm glad a number of you are tuned in right now as I wanted to ask for advice on maintaining Tiger brightwork - particularly the chrome Tiger scripts along the beltlines. I wondered whether any of the guys experienced at concours prep or who show their cars often have any tips or tricks for cleaning/shining them without impacting adjacent paint? I wouldn't be surprised if somebody's figured a quick release setup to enable thorough cleaning off the car. It may sound silly to some but living/driving on the coast it's a never-ending need as minor corrosion never stops trying to get a foothold.

ThanksTerry

Terry,
They do just push in and pull straight out.  Original clips seemed to 
work better and easier.
You need to be real careful not to chip the paint though.
Sliding a business card or something behind it and leaving it while 
polishing might be safer.
Show cars get polished before assembly and then sit in the garage and 
never get dirty much
less need polishing!

    They do just push in and pull straight out.  Original clips seemed
    to work better and easier.<br>
    You need to be real careful not to chip the paint though.<br>
    Sliding a business card or something behind it and leaving it while
    polishing might be safer.<br>
    Show cars get polished before assembly and then sit in the garage
    and never get dirty much<br>
    less need polishing!<br>

          guys experienced at concours prep or who show their cars often
          have any tips or tricks for cleaning/shining them without
          impacting adjacent paint? I wouldn't be surprised if
          somebody's figured a quick release setup to enable thorough
          cleaning off the car. It may sound silly to some but
          living/driving on the coast it's a never-ending need as minor
          corrosion never stops trying to get a foothold.<br>

The original factory metal clips (rivets) held the trim much closer to the
body than the modern plastic ones.
If you have the modern plastic ones there is normally a bit of a gap and
Terrys suggestion of using something behind the trim as a shield is a good
idea. something like a thin acetate sheet slid behind and then taped in
place would work fine that way you can use a metal polish or jeweler's
rouge to brighten the trim without getting it on the paint.

The more difficult one in some ways is polishing the paint up to the edge
of the side trim with the same intensity as you can with the more open
areas of the body.. the small 1inch polishers are ok for that.. but a PITA.
I had considered sticking my side trims on with body tape, but figured if i
did it would always be hard to polsih the paint properly up to the edge.
