Even though it's not needed, oil the slide lightly .
When you clean you remove oil from the metal and that can have an effect on the color change.

discoloration after cleaning
Just cleaned my M9 the other night. The following night when I checked it before bed I noticed distinct discolored/light areas on the metal slide. Has anybody else experienced this? I used outters cleaner and thought I wipped it down pretty good afterward. Any suggestions for future maintenance.

I had the same issue with my S40 after using Gunscrubber. It left au unsightly discoloration on the slide. I used some Break Free on it afterwards and a silicone cloth and it took most of it out. The break free powder blaster is a citrus oil based cleaner and is not as harsh as gunscrubber. You may also want to use a little FLITZ polisher on the slide. It can take out some of that discoloration as well.
thanks for the replies.
A little gun oil did the trick. That was going to be my next step, but I though I'd ask around.
