Sorry to hear that
A few factor might have cause it

Prolong neglection, chemical use in previous cleaning, or polish stains tried to remove by aggressive cleaners, or wax residue stuck for life time bonding

I use alien power clean to remove and alien coated for permanent protections

This was a mad detailing job for all I remembered
