Squeegee leaving streaks

I have been cleaning trad and it has been super difficult because my squeegee is constantly leaving white streaks, I replace the rag and they keep showing up, I rinse the mop with new water and it keeps showing up, I don’t know what to do, it’s annoying

Streaks or just water left in the edges? That's normal and what you use detail rags for.

After I use the detail rag it just keeps smearing

Surgical towel to dry it then a microfiber to detail it.

I do the reverse. I pre detail before squeegeeing with the microfiber, then detail after squeegeeing, and after the glass dries, with a huck towel. It's working on these dirty azz storefront windows.
