I feel like I've never been able to get the seasoning to the level where they are non-stick enough. Tips other than a lot of use and proper care?

Hadn’t been able to get them to be non-stick for years. 3 things helped me:

1.After washing, immediately dry and rub with a thin layer of oil
2. Get your pan scorching hot before putting food in the pan
3. When getting sticky: put about a teaspoon of oil in the pan and some salt, then rub with a paper towel.

Last tip will work as a abrasive, removing protein buildup, while not damaging the seasoning 
Oh and bake lots of pancakes on high heat, this will also season the pan.
