I had a similar problem with a gold leaf lettering job I did on an ambulance. The job came out perfect until 1 week after delivery when the fire dept that bought it washed it and noticed some of the shadowing coming off. I ran my finger nail across it and it came off like it was latex on glass. turns out there was Armorall on a rag that the dealer used to wipe it down before he brought it to my shop. Even after a full wash and prepsol the Armorall still ruined a 3 day lettering job. I wish it had fish eyed before I got to far in to the job, let alone finished and delivered it. got payed once did the job twice.
I feel your pain.
