on 24-70L II and I use protective filters most of the time. I don't when shooting at night or when I am using other filters like NDs or CPL. I damaged the coasting on the lens from the few times I cleaned it in the field, probably a foreign object on rag or tee shirt. anyhow I recommend to always use a clear filter unless you have a reason to take it off.

You may want to join Canon Professional Services (CPS).  You will get discounts and faster turn around on your repairs.
