After you have used a Rocket Blower to remove dust, is it okay to use Pec Pads and Eclipse to clean the lens? Or is it strictly for the sensor? Thanks.

For the lens front element, simply use a microfiber/lens tissue with a drop(s) of lens solution, then wipe in a circular motion. In all honesty though, you don't need to clean/wipe your front element all that much. Air blowers are by and far sufficient.

I'll second that, it's rare I ever need more than to just use the squeeze bulb.

Don't use sensor cleaner to clean a lens, use lens cleaner. Get a kit from a local store or from copperhill, they do good lens cleaning kits as well as sensor cleaning kits.
