[QUOTE="hark, post: 645543, member: 13196"] I too use the Eclipse solution and the Sensor Swabs for wet cleaning. Please don't use the fluid on other objects that aren't intended for a wet cleaning (such as a Q-Tip). And be sure to use some type of rocket blower first to remove dust. Otherwise, you might scratch your sensor. I like the Giottos Rocket Blaster. It comes in 3 sizes...the large works the best but is also the biggest. The medium works okay. The small...meh. ;) This is the video Jake posted for me that walks through the process. After watching it, I realized it wasn't as scary as I anticipated! And also as Fish suggested, a loupe is a huge asset. My first time cleaning, I couldn't see down inside. Tried holding a small flashlight, but it was cumbersome with also holding the sensor swab in one hand and holding the body still with the other. A loupe is terrific. I use this one: [url]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091SS310/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/url] [MEDIA=youtube]qi6S3jHA21w[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
