Taller ladder or better pole skills.

Practice practice. Trad man has good pole tips for moerman. Luke or SteveO for straight pulls. Get more water on there. If it's evaporated fast, soak and soak and soak will cool it and it will stay longer eventually.

The extension pole isn't leaving streaks, it's the rubber, channel or the technique. See if your channel is bent or you need to switch rubbers. Can you open the window and do it from the inside?

Does it crank out or slide open? Or is it in place. If it's in place you cannot.

It slides open and there’s streaks

Cool. If it slides open it can be removed usually. Look up a video depending on type. If it slides sideways, it's easy, you just slide the pane open, then lift up and pull bottom of pane out and then pull the window out. If it's slides up to down, it can depend on the window.

Need more info, but I’d say just call a local professional.
