Prusa Mini+ Z-seam ripples with PETG

I have a problem with two Prusa Mini+(they are both factory built, no mods) using PETG(standard settings in Prusa Slicer/Generic PETG or Prusament PETG). The Z-seam leaves a wave like pattern, both have done this since they were new a couple of months ago. These two are printed with Polymaker and Verbatim PETG.

Has anyone seen this in a PETG print before?

RE:

Try to switch from Arachne to Classic and see how it prints.

It sometimes helps.

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

I tried to change from arachne to classic, it did improve the print by about 50%. Rotating the piece 90 degrees also reduced it a bit. For my prints im going to put the seam in the back, it only affects certain prints, on others the seam looks good.
