Exclamation DSLR Sensor Cleaning
Hi,
I am about to purchase some cleaning kits for my lenses & my sensors. I was wondering what kind of kits everyone prefers? Thanks for any info or comments!

For a sensor? I try to stick to just a rocket blower.

Had some serious spots on my images from a dirty sensor and I got tired of cloning them out so I picked this up along with a rocket blower. Everything is clean as a whistle now. Amazon.com: Digital Survival KIT - Sensor Swab Type 2 (w/Eclipse): Home Improvement

Had this recommended to me by a pro, its great and you dont have to touch the sensor for it to work.
Products ? DSLR sensor cleaning

i think that Eclipse stuff is really hard to get, it's not allowed on an airplane because it's flammable. not sure about shipping it within the states! too bad Amazon.ca sucks so bad.

I just use a RocketBlower, but I live somewhere dry. I don't get the wet welded-on dust. If I were going to go into cleaning my sensor by a contact method, though, I'd probably blindly follow what the Lensrentals guys do, and start with a Lenspen Sensorklear (it's rumored that this is Canon Service's preferred tool for sensor cleaning, btw) and Dust-AID. Not sure about the Arctic Butterfly, though.
