[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 400203, member: 23887"] I used the Eyelead a couple of times. It is very easy to use and it removed most of the spots quickly, but left one or two quite persistent speckles. It took a lot of dabbing to remove them all when I used it the first time. Right now, after using it for the second time, I have a visible particle of dust right in the middle of the sensor. I tried dabbing it with the gel stick perhaps a dozen of times, but it is still there. Just wouldn't budge. I might be just unlucky with this one spot, but my impression is that you can sometimes hammer a speckle of dirt into the sensor this way. The gel is sticky and is supposed to collect dust, but if a dust particle happens to be more sticky towards the sensor, the gel will beat it into it instead of lifting. I'm a bit worried about it now. My Eclipse liquid and swabs have just arrived, so I'm going to try a wet method and see if I can dislodge the persistent little bugger. I don't want to dismiss the gel stick based on just one spot. However, if you use it and there is a persistent spot, don't keep dabbing it as I did. Use a wet swab instead. [/QUOTE]
