That is good news that it works well. Is it the same product that Tom pointed to or a different one?. Do you have a url to the product if it is different. BTW: How many shots have you taken with your D600 ? Is it more than 4000 which is meant to be the magic point where the oil/dust spots stop? My one still has the odd dust spot but this may be the dust/oil problem or just me changing the lens. The dust spots are not localised to a corner or side of the sensor.

I've taken around 2000 shots, don't know how to get the grand total as I reset the count after initial tryouts. There is still over a year on the warenty and it looks like at least one trip to Europe this spring which will add quite a bit to the count. The gummy pad I tried is to hold an electrode pad to the skin. A tens unit administers electrical stimulation (shocks) to the area for pain relief etc. I have no idea if it is the same material as they used in the cleaner, was just curious to see if a gummy pad would smuge the filter . Would consider the product if it became necessary, wouldn't risk an expensive repair on an electrode pad and it would require some type of handle etc. Search "tens machine" on eBay for an assortment of the pads and machines.

Take a jpeg image upload to your computer and go to this site. http://www.myshuttercount.com You will be asked to upload to this site and can see how many total actuations your camera has not how many pictures you have taken. There is a program called PhotoMe that you can download that also shows the Shutter Count near the bottom of the image Exif data. Program runs on Windows. N.B. The image must be a JPG.

I've been 'scrubbing' the car windscreen with a cerium oxide paste to try to remove some light scratches, that I previously caused ( but that's another story). I was rubbing like a mad beast for 20mins, pulled several muscles but managed to improve the marks ....a bit! Maybe I should get the Brillo pads out.

Agree with the Moose. Whatever gets it clean for you. I have my own method. See my website for details. http://www.jmknights.com/photography/downloads/files/Nikon_CCD_Cleaning_Process.doc http://www.jmknights.com/photography/downloads/files/Fuji_Sensor_Cleaning.pdf Worked for all my various DSLRs in the last 14 years! Goodness it is getting to be a long time.
