Prusa XL "Nozzle Cleaning Failed" very common - PETG

I am using Hatchbox PETG Black.  I get a lot of nozzle cleaning fails and have to hand mess with the thing a lot. This is very hard when it will position itself where its very hard to get at the nozzle. I wipe and I wipe and yet still PETG 🙂

I have seen people talking about editing the gcode (inside Prusaslicer?) to lower the temps leading up to printing.
Could somebody please give a hand-holding step by step on how to do this and how it works? I've seen posts with basic info and code drops but I can't make it past the first part of instructions. I need a nearly "I know nothing" tutorial on this. 

And also if there are other ideas to help this issue that would be appreciated too.   I would run the filament out of a dryer but with the multi XL i don't really know how to do this. I don't even have the table room for it. I would have to set up some tall fixture in front of everything and run it over to the number 1 tube. I could may be try that out.  

I also ordered some Prusament PETG that is still in transit to see if that helps. 

Thanks
