I've never been afraid of cleaning my lenses, and I've never seen any of the 
so-called "cleaning marks" that sellers often refer to in online offerings. 
It seems to me that careful cleaning practices preclude this, and the proper 
description is "marks caused by ham-handed idiot."

Under most circumstances, probably not. If you were to remove it before 
shooting in particular lighting conditions, you're fine. But if you are 
serious, use a 1A instead, as it will give a noticable effect in strong 
sunlight. In today's world of various sources of air polution, I don't think 
a UV does much. It is a sign of the apocalypse that the best MC filters are 
often only available in UV and "protector" versions.
