So I bought this cheap-ass cast-iron pan one day. It came "preseasoned", which didn't seem like a problem, but apparently the shitty pre-seasoning they used doesn't like my induction plate very much. Even if I try to heat it up slowly it eventually chips like crazy to the point my pan started looking like the surface of the moon (see pic).
No problem, I thought. I'll just polish off the seasoning and start with a fresh slate...
Yeah, no such luck. The stuff they used is near indestructible. It's like ceramic or something. I've been going at it with a fucking electric sander using coarse paper and now the sanding paper has actually turned smooth, but the "preseasoning" is still mostly there. That stuff is crazy tough.
Anyone have experience with this kind of pre-seasoning? Is there a better way of removing it?

Try using your induction plate to destroy it

Well, if its chipping already, might as well get it hot as fuck and speed the process up and then reseason..
