Introduction


The VisibleDust Sensor Cleaning Swabs have VisibleDust's patented mini-channel with contour. It provides an even saturation of the paddles surface while preventing pooling and vertical flow at the edge. This reduces streaks associated with traditional flat surface paddles. The mini-channels also provide a extra reservoir to absorb the excessive liquid and prolonging the moisture life of the swab during the cleaning process.

Verdict


The Sensor Cleaning Swabs from VisibleDust is another great product from the Canadian company. It seems that the type of fabric used on the swabs is really good at getting those hard to remove welded dust spots of the sensor. Which is the purpose of the swabs, any other type of dust should be removed with a dry solution product, like the Arctic Butterfly. Remember, using a wet solution is the last step, always start with dry cleaning the sensor.
