I'm not sure how you would get streaking from that. I would say you may have marred the paint. Our Z's have a fairly soft clear, so you do need to be gentle when working on them. It's hard to make recommendations with out seeing the car, but try re-doing a small area with light pressure to see if that takes care of the problem. You may also want to try a mild polish to see if that helps. The Turtle wax you used probably contains a very mild abrasive (mild polish) as well, but a dedicated polish with micro abrasives will be a better option for removing defects in the paint. Let me know what's available to you and I can make some recommendations.
