I got my new gold pans in today. I've read about "seasoning" or "preparing" new pan but there's a lot of people saying do this and other saying don't do this. Like using very lite sandpaper or Ajax powder. I know about using dish soap to clean the oils from manufactured process. Whats your guys thoughts and opinions on this topic.

Like Tim said first wash real well using dawn dish soap, then a fine sand paper or scoop up some river gravel and sands, and then rub the gravel really good in the pans on all the surfaces. Do this rubbing for 5 to 10 minutes until the pan is roughed up real good. Then your pans should be ready to use.

I don't worry about any sanding, I just use the dang thing.
I put my pans over a fire 'til they are a dark orange all over.
That burns off any oils and somewhat tempers the pan
and now they are more resistant to rust too.
JMHO,....
I use the scotch bright pad on mine and they do well. The green non stick cookware pad, if someone does not know. Hey it is possible. lol
I prefer course grit sand paper. 220 would be fine. Any micro burs that remain will quickly be stripped off in use.
I would use the fine because it will get more scratches when you use it the first time and so on and so on
I have done it to all my pans
I use river gravels and sand. Works for me in all my pans.
for me I like my pans scratched up big time I believe it helps hold that super small gold
