[QUOTE="editorial_use_only, post: 646114, member: 40895"] Eclipse worked well for me. I could often get a clean sensor using just one swab. Great. Aeroclipse has not worked well for me. I got a bottle of that stuff and blew through 8 of the same swabs trying to get a clean sensor without success. I kept getting streaks and smears. I tried using less fluid, I tried using less fluid, I tried using more pressure, I tried using more fluid. Down to my last 2 swabs I switched back to Eclipse and got it in 1. I bought a bottle of Gamma cleaning fluid from Dust Patrol/micro-tools.com but have yet to use it. Something that comes up from time to time is trying high grade methanol. If you're having trouble finding a local supplier of sensor cleaning equipment, you might consider it. This link [url=http://www.cleaningdigitalcameras.com/the-methods-tools/]Cleaning Digital Cameras - Guide to cleaning DSLR and Mirroless cameras. - The Methods & Tools[/url] I find very useful. If you search other large photo forums like dpreview for sensor cleaning you can also turn up more info. Like [url]https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/14802083[/url] One thing I'd caution you about is a complete DIY method, like using a Pec-Pad wrapped onto the stub of a plastic knife.
