I just cleaned my 5D with a sensor wand with E2 solution. I got all the dust off but I can see streaks on the sensor, is this normal? I clean my 30D with regular eclipse and pec pads and they leave no streaks at all.

I have been using the E2 since my XTi days and have found that after wet cleaning thoroughly, a final pass with a dry pec pad and sensor wand lightly gets rid of any streaks. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I'm afraid to use regular eclipse and pec pads on my 5D, I have 2 sensor wands left with E2 and would rather save them for another clean later this year.

Less solution is better. Helps to wait 30 seconds to let some evaporate before swabbing Kevin
