Finally got brave enough to clean my own sensor filter. Had handful of small spots visible on light backgrounds at F22 and above on my Nikon 7000.
Used with Photo Solutions swab. Video very clear, easy to apply recommended drops to swab and easy to place swab directly on to sensor filter and do the two sweeps as directed. But do carefully note the recommended pressure - it is quite firm and your instinct is to be too gentle.
Removed spots on first attempt and repeated to remove similar problem with my Nikon 90.
OK its expensive but not relative to Nikon charges and who would want to use a cheap product on a delicate CMOS sensor and damage the coating on the sensor filter.
I used an Arctic Butterfly to remove any mobile particles before wiping the sensor with the swab but not convinced that this expensive device achieved much as I suspect it is only the sticky contaminants that the Nikon dust removal system fails to dislodge
Personally I would only do this in a clean well lit environment and I took particular care to blow away all surface dust on camera and lens before opening up and dropping the mirror - getting particles in the chamber will get you into bigger problems.
