Product details
Today's sensor technologies mostly use water repellent coatings to prevent stains. Vdust Plus is a high volatility alcohol-based cleaning solution that is ideal for removing water stains from coated sensors. Unfortunately, alcohol is not very effective at removing stains resulting from organic material, such as heavy lubricants. For that, there is Smear Away, a strong cleaning solution that excels at removing even very troublesome residues from organic material. Since this cleaning solution is water-based, slight streaking may occur due to the hydrophobic coating on the lens. If this happens, reduce the amount of liquid on the next cleaning rod or simply use Vdust Plus with a new rod to remove the streaks.
As it is often not immediately obvious what type of stain it is, it is recommended to start with one of the two liquids first. If the stain is gone, you can stop cleaning immediately. Otherwise, the liquid should be changed, and the cleaning process should continue. It is essential to use a new cleaning rod when doing so. The cleaning liquids must not be mixed. Always swipe in the same direction when cleaning.
Sensor Clean is best used to remove water-based residues and light traces of dust. It is dust repellent and works best with VisibleDust MXD-100 Green Series Swabs. Vdust Plus removes oily residue, is very volatile, and allows streak-free cleaning when used with DHAP orange and Ultra MXD-100 green Vswabs. Green MXD-100 Vswab patented V-shaped cleaning sticks provide excellent movement in the chamber, even movement, and efficiently clean corners due to their shape. They fit all three solutions, and the combined synthetic fiber material provides very good results in removing oily smears. The soft material protects the sensor and removes residues without streaks, making it best suited for fluorine-coated sensors.
