I have several blue streaks in my bathtub that suddenly appeared. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them and the cause?

I dont know what caused them. Try the Magic Eraser or Barkeepers Friend.
jo-Petersen,
I thought how odd that was too to see those blue streaks in your tub, so I googled it, and this might be your problem.
Low pH

Hard water, use CLR to clean
You might have success with Soft Scrub or make a paste with baking soda and blue dawn.
Everything has to left on a few minutes before scrubbing to remove.
This is embarrassing to admit, but when this happened in our house, someone who shall remain nameless (me), dropped a bottle of blue nail polish in the tub and it splattered a bit and someone who shall remain nameless (also me) tried to carefully remove it with a bit of nail polish remover. Sadly that left splotches on my tub which is some composite material.
If you decide it is nail polish, don't use remover, but use a fingernail or those plastic scrubby things to carefully scrape at it to remove. Hopefully you won't cause damage like I did. UGH!
Note: I'd be careful using anything too abrasive on a plastic bathtub.
