Thanks,
To answer your question, I'm not sure you can just wipe off a Zinc coating. I think it's more like a melted coating on the metal kinda like galvanizing or solder.
I washed the upper tank surface with a cleaner (acetone) and lightly scotchbrited it before coating.
I haven't considered clear coating the underside. Might just do it too, good idea.
Thanks
