What do you use to clean your sensor. I have a D7100 that needs cleaned! I have run my camera's cleaner and have blown it out, but still lots of dust.

@BackdoorHippie posted this video for me when I had oil spots on my D600. It is very thorough although kinda slow and boring. BUT it is immensely good in that it covers everything you need to know about a wet cleaning. It's the method I use when mine needs to be done. And it helps to have a loupe so you can see down inside.

eclipse liquid and sensor swab or pec pads. had the gel stick. it can only do so much. if you have stubborn spots, only a wet cleaning can do it. the gel stick is better then the giottos blower but not better then a wet cleaning.

Agreed.

The Gel Stick, for me, is a 90% solution. For the rare occasion it's not the solution, Eclipse fluid and a swab will be. Oh, and Pec Pads are just awesome, period.

I use stuff from Visible Dust. Only because that's what my local brick-n-mortar store carries. It's still great stuff as they don't stock the cheap crap you see on FleaBay and Amazingon.
