How fussy can I be?

Ok, I know you are rolling your eyes at me and my bricks... but we've had the brick clean (a while ago now) and all the hoo-har that came before it, but it appears that the bricks have not been cleaned very well.
We have raked mortar (visible indentations of about 1-2cm) and when the bricks were cleaned they have left behind bits of mortar on the edges of the bricks (on the face).
1. Is this acceptable for a finished product? and
2. Is there any way to get this excess mortar off?
The bricks have been finished for over a month now so I'm guessing it's pretty set on and will be impossible to get off. My only concern is that it is clearly visible on the entire brickwork.
Also on the subject of bricking our fascia boards - colourbond - seem to be scratched to the point that there are little strips of the powder coating missing all over them - but mostly at the bottom - like as if the bricks have been rubbed against them. Is this acceptable or will this end up rusting? Would a "touch up" job be ok? What are the chances of them being replaced?

Here are some pics of the mortar on the bricks (taken last week). They aren't necessarily the worst parts, but these were the best ones I've got up close:
