So the tubes are coated to some degree with talc like powder and/or lube/preservative that is the opposite of glue and stops it from doing it's job by creating a barrier that is not eliminated by scuffing.
You can clean with glass cleaner or light solvent used very sparingly, just scrubbing the area at all before scuffing can help, the residue is the plague.
