Eliminating Lines in top layer?

Suggestions for eliminating lines on top layer?  This happens with every flat print. Tried different PLA, same results. Using Prusa slicer. 

Thanks

RE: Eliminating Lines in top layer?

The scarring is cause by a bit of filament ooze on the nozzle as it is moved close to the surface. You can increase z-lift in extruder settings. There are also slicer options to avoid travel moves over parts. All work best if you've tuned your extrusion multiplier in filament settings to reduce ooze as much as possible in the first place.
