Secret to get dirty streaks out of white paint?

? they're hard buggers to take out. Is there an easier way? Like from a pre wax polish?

Try hand glaze. It's more abrasive than wax. Do a small area at a time, then wax the area a couple ties after. It takes a lot of elbow grease, but it'll be worth it.

try using a buffer or take it to a detailing shop. Much cheaper than a paint job.
