when I detailed this M/B 2 months ago it had streak stains on the hood and trunk that I believe were caused by an automatic car wash. I washed the vehicle used a clay bar applied PB white diamond glaze then PB EX sealant with wax. 2 months later streaks have returned even though the car has been hand washed since. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would try an AIO/cleaner wax to see it that helps even it out, or just a simple polish if you don't have an AIO.

I had a similar issue with a single stage metallic green Jeep that went Thur a automatic car wash and the strong detergents ruined the hood and other panels. It was a cheap single stage paint job but my best try was just using a one step polish like HD speed, lasted a few months but a repaint was due.

Also it's tricky with single stage paint, let alone metallic as it can cause unevenly areas due to metallic.

What is a M/B?

In a header it should be full spelling, then the clever acronymes.

Could be possible windshield washer fluid and misted on trunk.Anything on the roof paint looks like it needs some polishing.

Try some polishing or a light compound with no fillers.
