[Leica] How clean is my sensor?

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I feel the same way Ted!
I have some swabs but have never used them.
If my sensor ever needs to be cleaned like you I'll have a technician do it.
Bulb air has worked for me. And having the lens clean before I put it on the
camera. Which means I blow on it and wipe it off with my shirt tail.
