Sensor cleaning
#3
I suggest you don't use this.



My photo retailer friend has seen several cameras now already with what effectively are destroyed sensors, purely because it may require force to get this stuff removed, and/or may leave pieces behind which require mechanical removal. With wet cleaning gone wrong people generally just leave an oily or greasy residu (smears) behind on the sensor, which can be removed by a proper cleaning by someone who knows how to do this. And the same is true for dry cleaning with a static brush: if you do leave a residu, it can be cleaned by normal wet cleaning procedures.



In short, it is something that may destroy a sensor when not handled properly, and there is no guarantee it won't leave a residu or worse either. The best way to "wet" clean stil is swabs or pec pads and the correct cleaning solution for your camera, for dry cleaning a good blower.



Kind regards, Wim
