out of curiosity, how easy is it to get eclipse solution under the sensor filter? only if your swab is drenched in the solution or is it actually quite easy to?

Whoa... whoa.. whoa! you should barely have 2 drops on your pad, how would it be drenched? If you use 2-3 drops max... there's no issue whatsoever. Wet clean is not really that wet!

Only if the Rocket blower doesn't shift the gunk.

Yep two drops only.

Blower, wet clean, blower gets me the best results (judged using a sensor loupe)
