Default shotgun questions

I just bought my first shotgun and have a few questions. Yesterday I used it for the first time and fired about 30 shots. Should I clean the barrel? How ofgten do I need to clean the gun? I bought a cheap cleaning kit ar walmart. It came with wool mops. What are these used for?

I also have a different type of question. I noticed after I used it that the forend must have rubbed the barrel, because there was a line on either side of the barrel where the black color had scraped off. How could this be fixed? I thought about taking off the forend and sanding down the area that is scraping the barrel on both sides. It is a Remington 870.
Thanks
