alcohol and cotton swabs work great... Don't use it for your sensor, but do try it on a lens...
Oh, and the 93% is greatly superior in performance.. |

I suggest hydrofluoric acid. Apply it by vigorously rubbing with #000 steel wool or 320-grit wet/dry sandpaper.
I guarantee you will be amazed at how quickly and thoroughly this technique removes grungy fingerprints.

I was actually wondering this the other day. I haven't gotten around to buying a protector thing yet. So thanks, good to know that I can use simple things.
The last one I bought I ordered the wrong size, and it cost more to post back than it cost. |

nonononono!!!! get a uv filter on RIGHT NOW! There's nothing worse than scratching a lens and having to live with it because you didn't bother with a filter.

Ooh actually I do happen to have some real nice steel wool kicking around - SOS pads to be exact. Will that work? :-) |

Yeah, SOS pads should work just fine. Just be sure to rinse all that soap off the lens when you're done.
Hmmmm... does steel wool come from steel sheep?

Uhmm I don't know where steel wool comes from but I guess there are some steel sheep kicking around...oh btw Ray, stuck some steel wool and rubbing alcohol (just to make sure it got REAL clean) onto the end of a Q-tip and cleaned your 20D's sensor for you! It's nice and clean now! Wow, think I can even see the workings of the camera in there!!!! ;-) |
