It looks a bit "spotted". Is that normal or need I do something about it?

To be fair I didn’t see the sub this was in. I’ve had my pans for a few years now and even the “bad” dishes, like tomato based sauces, I use my pans to prepare them. They obviously don’t look as pristine as yours, but the seasoning is good and they hold up to an egg the next use. Whenever I’m in doubt I douse it in some oil and get it hot enough to smoke then wipe it down and keep on cookin’.
Thank you for your input, much appreciated!
