Alright, i am on the quest to dig up some cleaning supplies, i have read a bunch of threads, done two dozen searches, and everyone seems to agree on the rocket blower... but besides that, it is all over the place. So i figured i would start one thread for everyone to list exactly what they use, what they use it for. This way, all the info is in one thread, and we can link the noobs (like myself) to it. Let's break it down by category:
Cleaning your body:
Cleaning your lenses:
Cleaning your sensors:
Cleaning your LCD screen:
These are the types of questions i see come up quite a bit..feel free to add more if need be. Add pics if you want.
Thanks!

Cleaning your body: Usually compressed air for all plastic and metal parts
Cleaning your lenses: Only rocket blower first and PecPads later (I do have UV filters so my lenses dont really get messed up, even if I am out shooting in the wind or the beach.
Cleaning your sensors: Copper Hill Method: 14mm Sensor Swab, Pec Pads, Eclipse solution and Pec-Pads on q-tip for edges.
Cleaning your LCD screen: My t-shirt in the field and left over pecpads after I am done with other cleaning.
