the pads are not recommended for sensors. the swabs are though, but they are
very expensive and you go through them very quickly. are you likely to
damage the sensor using the pads? it depends on what you use to hold them
when rubbing against the sensor. also, if you believe the competition,
alcohol-based cleaners get the glass spotless but leave them attracting dust
because of static charges created by the swabs/pads. i got the Visible Dust
brushes after going through 3-4 Pec-Pad swabs per cleaning session. at
almost $3USD/swab, i would have to clean my camera about 15 times to make up
the price of a complete set of Visible Dust brushes and cleaning solutions.

Subject: eclipse + pec pads for CCD cleaning
I ordered some eclipse, pec pads and some kind of rubber wand and I hope I
will not destroy my CCD. :) I don't like the idea of a
static brush, too expensive and I don't think it will work for stuck dust
so I will have to use eclipse anyway. Better to learn how
to use it from the start then. Maybe if the static brush were around $30
I would buy it as an addition to my cleaning kit but at
more than $100 I don't think it is the right price.
