First of all a properly seasoned cast iron pan can and should be washed with modern dishwashing liquid. If the seasoning comes off with 'hand friendly ' soap it was garbage seasoning anyway.

Second, this looks perfectly ready for seasoning. Nothing wrong with that. Just get the outdoor grill going grab some short chain oil and get to work.

Short chain oil!? At first I thought you were bs'ing about seasoning a pan with gear oil.

That sent me down a novel rabbit hole. Thanks for your input!

I don't get the joke. I just tried Google and it had nothing for seasoning cast iron with chain or gear oil. Is this a thing?

The chains being referred to here are molecular chains, not mechanical ones.

Thank you. That joke/wordplay went straight over my head.

Are you sure, I thought if a single molecule of soap touches my pan it would instantly look like this?
