All filaments are sensitive to surface oil, but PETG in particular super sensitive to any oil on a build plate, just fingerprints are enough, plain pei sheets you can totally clean with plain dish soap and water, makes a huge difference.
Oh yeah. I'm religious about wiping down with IPA every print and washing every few prints on PEI. I just haven't printed with petg on this printer yet, my experiences were at my college where you'd get 20 boneheads slamming nozzles into the bed, printing with way too high a temp, printing TPU on satin sheets and zero glue stick causing it to bond way to strong and literally rip chunks of pei off the Prusa plates... they were in pretty bad shape.
