Lime juice is crazy acidic. I was making Vietnamese Shaking Beef in a wok about a year ago, and it's finished with a sauce made of sugar, fish sauce, and reduced lime juice. My wok was well seasoned at the time, and I'd quick simmered wine and lemon juice in it before without damaging the patina. But just 2-3 minutes of that lime juice boiling in there took it all the way back to bare metal. It looked like I had put barkeeper's friend in there!
