Green Scotch Brite for the win
I'm on day 3 since 1st power up of my new MK3S kit.
I've been having a hard time getting good PLA adhesion, despite the "Life Adjust" square film looking quite good.
Tonight after work, I stopped by the dollar store and bought a green Scotch Brite sponge.
I scrubbed the side of the powder coated PEI steel sheet I've been using in hot water & Dawn dish soap.
NIGHT and DAY difference! Once rinsed & dry, it was obvious - the side I just scrubbed was much less reflective than the virgin side.
Side 1: scrubbed & dull; PLA adhesion is fantastic
Side 2: virgin & reflective; loading up PETG once I get over how awesome Side 1 is working out. 😉
Here are pictures, it's easy to guess which side is which!
RE: Green Scotch Brite for the win
Soap and Water is usually enough; sand paper (Scotchbright is an abrasive laden material) may cause problems with PETG adhereing a bit too well, so do a small test part placed where a damaged surface won't bother you.

Same here. I use these:
or
or just a sponge.
