Lens condition, smudges

Hey guys

I've been doing alot of shooting with my 170, and the lens has accumulated dust. I decided to buy a lens cleaning kit today, and I used it on the lens. But to my surprise, the lens cleaning kit created smudges and streaks on the lens, no matter how many times I cleaned it with the cloth.

I have 2 questions

1.) Do minor smudges effect your shots? I mean, is an impeccably clean lens necessary?

2.) How do you guys go about cleaning your lenses? do these kits wipe off the protective coating?

replys would be greatly appreciated. I'm in a bind here
