My buddy from the welding shop watched me scrub my skillet with soap and almost lost it

I used to hit my 12 inch Lodge with Dawn after every batch of bacon because I thought clean meant no grease at all. My buddy Dave, who has run a welding shop over in Council Bluffs for 15 years, saw me do it and asked if I also waxed my truck before driving it in the rain. He told me to just wipe it hot with a rag and a little salt, then give it a thin coat of oil while it is still warm on the stove. Three weeks in and my eggs slide around like they are on glass, so what is your go to move for a quick cleanup after cooking meat?
