I’m pretty pissed at myself but what’s done is done, maybe?
Wow, you're being rather hard on yourself ... $h!t happens.
This has happened to me. I recommend covering the entire lid and bowl in oil / bacon grease.
Then everything is uniform. Then do as Darko mentioned, and all will be good in your world ... after some time. Patience. 8) ;)

I had gotten penetrating oil on mine @Rub suggested getting it hot as hell it'll cook offYep mine got penetrating oil on it by my agent. I made a hot fire in it, and even gently used a weed burner on it in short bursts. A lot of the stains did disappear but it wasn't the same. I ended up Pam'ing it and actually like it looking like it did when new better than the faded look.

Use a clean rag and lots of it and that will act as a degreaser and dryer to leave the finish close to the original faded finish.
Wash the whole lid to make sure you don’t have 1/4 that is cleaner than the rest.
The problem you have is the oil is like a moisturizer the same as car wax on an old faded red car. Use the alcohol to remove the oil without doing any other damage and it should return to good old “old”.

This morning, I figured I'd give the degreaser recommendation a try. What harm could it do? It might work, it might do nothing or it might make things worse and I'd wind up applying cooking oil. Here's the stuff I have on hand, it's a generic version of Simply Green, available at Lowe's. I applied some to a cotton cloth and applied it multiple times to the entire lid (grill was cold). This stuff did the trick!

I wish I had before pics of the shiny blemish, but I don't.
In this after shot, you can barely make out where the shiny spot was, under my reflection. I still have a small area under the handle that I need to work on. It's difficult getting decent pics to show the area with the sun.

I actually kind of like the "dust covered" look of the patina.
Just figured I'd chime in here with my recent observations. As soon as I get a chance I'll post a thread on my restoration. There's a thread I've posted over in bbq brethren about it.

New member here, just restored a 2002 18" Kettle. I'd seen your post, thinking that perhaps to get the shiny exterior back on my grill I'd try your mishap and apply cooking oil to the lid while hot. Well, during last night's (second) cook I managed to spill oil on the lid, resulting in a shiny spot very similar to yours. OK, so now it's got me irritated. I've been growing accustomed to the haziness and would prefer the entire lid to look that way.

I have no idea. I’ll do my best with this. I’ll make my A code my primary cooker and leave it uncovered. I’ll try to take a pic every month and post them to this thread.

For anyone still following I always bank my coals on the left side. She’s slowly starting to fade on that side. I need to start rotating my lid now.If this had a Like button, I would click it.

If the original spill left stains, then you covered the stains up, I wonder why the stains reappear when the oil fades??

The spill was canola oil and then I did a combo of canola oil and PAM after to blacken the entire kettle. So, those streaks are the original canola oil spill.

After a few high heat cooks, it's gone. It will burn off.
