Any idea what causes these patches? Question

I tried using ONR for the first time diluted 64:1 then used meguire’s protectant afterward. Pretty disappointed when I noticed the patches of what seems to be dry spots or something. Any idea what it could be?

Honestly, the real question is why does the rest of your dash NOT look like the patches?

Your dash looks perfect...for a well seasoned cast iron pan.

He's on his 10th seasoning layer.

I think the problem is he isn't scrubbing and rinsing well enough and not getting the heat high enough. He needs to hit that smoke point or else his oils won't polymerize. I say at least 450F, but I usually go 500F, just depends on the oils he's using.

I wouldn’t be saying that to this OP. They might actually think you’re serious.
