My 1dx2 sensor needs a clean.
A blower brush is not cutting the mustard so I'm looking at wet cleaning.
Anyone done this before?
Recommended kit's or fluids?
Worth trying or should I pay canon to do it?
My thanks in advance.

Do a search for "sensor cleaning" and you'll get a few dozen threads discussing all the different ways, pros/cons, horror stories and such. There is no right way and lots of wrong ways to clean a sensor. Before embarking read as much as you can and give it a go. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I would think you still have some decent independent camera stores that might even have a tech on staff (something rare here in the States). If so see if you can take the camera in for a cleaning on a while you wait basis and ask to watch. I did that for my first cleaning and the tech explained every step as I watched. The cost was $25 but I've done it myself ever since. It isn't a difficult process with the right cleaning materials.
