Only the corrector have some streaks. The primary mirror is very clean and pristine. If Pete doesn't mind, I can upload some photos of the corrector and mirror.
My C8 have cleaning streaks on the primary mirror from previous owner. Did not bother to do anything about it (i.e. lazy). Did not affect my observing pleasure over the past 2 years in Singapore and Malaysia .

These are the recent photos of this 8SE taken with my phone camera. Posting them here upon request of and approval from seller.
Body of OTA. Did not use any external lightsource so phone camera producing grainy image. Actual body condition is better than portrayed in this photo.
Corrector's condition. Used a 5W torchlight for illumination.
Primary mirror's condition. Used a 5W torchlight for illumination. Take note is it clean and reflecting the dust particles and streaks on the corrector. These dust particles and streaks are NOT physically located on the primary mirror.
These photos only serve as a guide. Potential buyers please take a look at the actual scope for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
