    What do you clean the sensors with?

    Hello, what spray can I use to clean my system sensors? Sometimes wiping them with a cloth can be a hassle. I'd like to clean them remotely with a spray instead.

      If all else fails read the Service Manual!

      If that fails, meet me at the pub and we will discuss it.

        Blower brush all the time sometimes canned air or battery powered air guns.
        A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
        Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

            I would advise that if you use canned air to make sure its non-flammable. Many years ago we had a tech have a fireball in a machine because of canned air and a static spark.
            He was cleaning the optics in an analog copier that was in a dusty environment. He first blew it out with canned air then went in with a rag to get the remaining dust and created a static spark and a large fireball erupted from the cavity of the optics. This was the point that the company I was working for at the time banned canned air.
