Also the clear finish on the wood was starting to break down at joins and on the panels themselves

My guess it that is 2K automotive clear coat, although I'm not 100% sure. While durable this doesn't suit spot touch ups or overcoating when tatty.

The only way to deal with it is stripping right back to bare wood and starting over.
