my screen has this 3 streaks across (something like when u swipe across the screen with a dirty finger and it leaves the print of swipe) which is caused by the Samsung screen protection film that you have to peel off when you first get your phone. but I had left it on as I have yet to buy a screen protector and occasionally it would peel off but I would just press it back and I guess that's how I got the 3 lines at the place where it peeled off and I stuck it back after finally deciding to do without that film thing.

I've have tried using water and cloth, a micro fibre cloth to wipe the screen and also tried using scotch tape on it too. it would disappear but after using it awhile it would return again which gets quite irritating as sometimes it would be noticeable when the screen is off under light. I'm currently refraining from using alcohol wipes as I heard it damages the oleophobic coating.

Was wondering if anyone has any idea how else to remove the marks. anything would be appreciated thanks!
 
If you run your nail across the blemish, can you feel anything? Ie. Are you sure its not tiny scratches?

If not then it sounds like a bit of sticky residue left over on the screen to me.
WD40 should shift it.
If not, try some Pure IPA Isopropyl Alcohol (Isopropanol)

tried running my nails and fingers overs over dont feel any bump or indifference from the rest of the screen not even the slightest. which was why i figured it could be some residue or something but weirdly just doesnt come off permanently
 
It's just glue residue from the sticker staying behind, clean it off properly with some alcohol based liquid as mentioned and buff of with a microfibre towel. In fact the easiest way to remove fingerprint marks is with a microfibre, i carry a small one with me as the fingerpint marks bug me.
