Did you try the plastic restorer I suggested? You can get it hella cheap on alexpress.
“Headlight restoration” is usually what it’s called.

Not OP, but that search brings up a bunch of different products on AliExpress: black paste, white paste, sprays, creams, liquids… Do you know if it matters?
Thanks for the tip, regardless. They’re only a few bucks each, so 8 could try a few, but if you have one you know works for PLA and/or PETG, I’d appreciate knowing what worked for you!

I saw your edit but yeah. It’s a clear liquid. Watery.
It actually has a really pleasant soap-like smell.
I apply with a folded paper towel. You could use a sponge to make sure it’s 100 % lint free. But paper towel seemed fine for me.
I basically applied it like if you were using nail polish remover.
There are probably different approaches. I don’t think it’s going to matter too much. Just note its intended to be a wipe-on. Not a soak. Not a slather-on.
So it is going to go far and last you for many projects.
