Apologies if I have the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to put it.

Today arrived an eyelead sensor cleaning kit from maxsaver.net.

Service was great as usual from these blokes, but my issue is with this cleaning kit, or more accurately, smearing kit.

first of all I can find nowhere where it says how much fluid to put on the swab, everywhere I looked including the box, the bottle, and even both maxsaver and eyelead websites, it says "use the correct amount" Well it's pretty darn hard to do that when you don't know how much IS the correct amount to begin with! :rolleyes:

Anyway I thought I'd use one drop on the swab and try that. Well, I may as well have dipped the swab into vasoline. As I ran the swab over the filter all the liquid did was ball up on the filter behind it, then promptly dried out leaving dry marks all over the damn thing....FFUUUUUU! The swab was as useless as the liquid. You know when you wipe alcohol over something like this you can see it evaporate away completely?, this stuff just dried out ON the filter and left a greasy film when I wiped it with the supplied swab.......tops!

So I then got out my sensorklear pen and wiped it all off. Took forever, but I have got it back to what it was minus the dust I had to begin with.

I have only used the sensorklear pen twice before, and the camera shop did it once for me originally (not sure what they used, took them only 5 minutes at no cost, so I'm thinking a pen) so there may have been an oily surface situation going on here to begin with, but isn't that what the wet cleans are supposed to be for?

Anybody else used this waste of a kit?

Actually just as I posted the link to the product, I'm wondering if I haven't been dudded on the fluid. My bottle is lucky to be 1/5th full but the advertised product shows a bottle chock full of fluid..........mmm, maybe all the good stuff has leaked out and left me with the dregs? This might explain a lot...... It was still safety locked and not leaking however.....
