Streaks after using the wipers are a common problem and can be caused by a variety of factors:

Worn Wiper Blades: Old o r damaged wiper blades are often the main culprit. Over time, the rubber edge of the blades can become hardened, cracked, o r torn, causing them to leave streaks.
Contaminated Windshield: If the windshield has oil, dirt, o r other debris on it, the wipers may smear it around, leaving streaks.
Incorrect Wiper Fluid: If the windshield washer fluid is old o r not suitable for cutting through grime, it can leave residue on the windshield, leading to streaks.
Solution:

Replace Wiper Blades: If your wiper blades are older than 6–12 months, it’s time to replace them. Choose high-quality wiper blades designed for optimal performance in your local climate.
Clean the Windshield: Wash the windshield regularly to remove contaminants. A dirty windshield can contribute to streaking.
Use a Good Quality Wiper Fluid: Choose a high-quality washer fluid that is specifically formulated to clean windshields effectively, especially in heavy rain o r snow conditions.
Wipe Blades Regularly: Use a microfiber cloth to clean the wiper blades every once in a while to prevent dirt buildup and improve their performance.
