Having issues with filament, mainly prusament. I have a P1P with a textured plate and I’m doing 65 degrees for plate and 220 degrees for extruder. I also use warm water with dawn dish soap. I am a beginner and don’t really know what I’m doing. Any tips or fixes?
Welcome to this forum,
Please describe your “issues” in more detail, tell us more about your filament (PLA?) , describe what you wanted to do. And most important: Add photos of your failed prints.

Welcome 
First what is your problem? Bed adhesion?
65°C is an unnormal temperature in my opinion … for PLA too high, for ABS too low … and for what soap? Where did you get these informations from?

1st step would be to tell us which your issue is.
Your question is “Please help my with my car issue - it is red and used gasoline”.

Right sorry. Not sticking to bed. PLAI’m new to 3d printing and don’t really know what I’m doing
I got the recommendation of using dawn from their Reddit🤷🏻 I also just selected “generic pla” for the print
First thing always is correct height adjustment. Just a piece of paper between nozzle and printbed when in homing position on all maximum outer corners. Then hairspray onto the bed helps to stick, as well as an appropiated temperature on bed. About 40-50°C.
Otherwhise you might use sticky tape or a slower printing speed. But begin with trying from first mentioning.

Clean your build plate with 70% or higher isopropyl.
I agree, isopropyl on a 50 degree Celsius bed is the way to go.
You can also try putting down a layer of glue. I used the Bambu Labs Liquid Glue for a print that was giving me a problem, and that did the trick.

You can try to increase the bed temperature a little aswell. I found some PLAs to be generally not that “sticky”. Try step-by-step up to 70°C.

There are some people that suggest/use IPA but I’ve found that doesn’t work as well as cleaning with dish soap (Dawn) and warm/hot water. It’s been discussed on this forum at length. Do what ever works for you.
Bambu’s suggestion.

just want to share my experience, I had the same issue with PLA and Textured Plate. I tried the Isopropyl (low, high %) but that did not worked for me. What I did was took a dish soap and a hard plastic brush. That helped me a lot. The brush helps to clean the deeper part of the Textured Plate. Hope this helps you too.

Yeah I tried ipo before and didn’t work. Got better results with dish soap

Update: slowed down first layer and doing it at 50. If that does work I’ll do 70. If it still doesn’t work I’ll use hair sparky and do 50 or 70 if needed.
Would I possibly print the brush If I can fix the issue now?
Hmmm what brush are you talking about? Sorry I’m kind of Not getting the sentence.
You said hard plastic brush. I was wondering if I could try and print it
Also update: used hair spray at 65 c bed and 225 nozzle. So far so good.
