[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 236527, member: 8344"] Pete, Yes, it cleans it all. My sensor was easily 4 times dirtier than yours, cleaned it easily. I was told, when I was demoed the kit, to only stroke in one direction, lift, go back stroke it the same way again. Works very nicely. The pad on the wand is similar to the ones people buy to wipe their iPads or iPhones. I am more careful these days removing and attaching lenses so I have to clean it less often. 1) have the body always pointing down when I take a lens off. 2) I always have the lens caps ready to be put on 3) I use the Rocket Blower much more. Dust bunnies have decreased in frequency. Tiny oil spots still show up but much much less. Yes, Nikon (at some point, Nikon, you are going to have to admit this) had an issue with drops of oil coming off the shutter. I don't care what they say, but it has substantially decreased if not outright disappeared with use. This kit took the stress of spots on the sensor away because it is an easy clean and the risk of damage is minimal. Just remember, apply very light pressure, stroke in one direction only, lift return and do it again until it is clearer of dirt, oil etc. I have an Arctic Butterfly. I will pass that over the sensor 2nd…I use the air blower first (Rocket is the best), then clean the oil. You know it is oil because the Butterfly will smudge oil, but remove the dust. Good luck.
