Are Weber griddles for GBS to be treated same as cast iron? These are porcelain coated cast iron so what is proper for cooking on and cleaning after. Soap to clean and oil to prevent rust?

David, no seasoning with oil is necessary due to the porcelain enamel coating.
I'd use Lodge's cleaning advice for their porcelain cast iron (https://www.lodgecastiron.com/discover/cleaning-and-care/enameled-cast-iron) on your Weber griddle:
1. Allow cookware to cool.
2. Hand wash with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush (https://www.lodgecastiron.com/product/scrub-brush?sku=SCRBRSH).
3. If necessary, use nylon pads or scrapers (https://www.lodgecastiron.com/pan-scrapers) to remove food residue; metal pads or utensils will scratch or chip porcelain.
4. Always dry cookware thoroughly before storing in a cool, dry place. Do not stack cookware.

Personally, I would throw it in the dishwasher.

Do not use PAM, It contains lecithin which will void non stick warranty on pans. It turns into a sticky layer that is hard to get off of non stick surfaces. I found out the hard way.
Magic eraser seems to work on tough sticky spots, I use a high heat oil like avocado. I have some Le Creuset cookware that I love dearly and that is what I do. I use the Magic eraser if regular sponge or nylon scrubber didn't work well enough.

Mica, kinda hard to tell from the pics, but bacon will leave a residue in new cast iron from the sugars in it. Takes a little bit to get it off, try blue (not green) scrub sponges, hot water, and some dish soap. After drying, LIGHTLY coat with any cooking oil and wipe off. Once your seasoning is built up a bit more, the bacon residue will be a lot lighter and easier to clean, maybe none at all.
If it's rust, just hit it with some steel wool and re-oil.
Hope this helps.

For what it's worth, I've thrown my Weber griddle with similar finish in the dishwasher a few times and it looks like new.
