Thanks for all the feedback guys, I can only see about 3 spots on sky shots,
I will order the kit and then maybe wait until either a few more spots become apparent or get to the point where is really winds me up By then I might have the courage to have a go

Sounds like a car service.

I have had my D2X for 18 months and not quite at 6000 yet. Give it a fairly regular go with a blower but not needed to go further than that yet. I think I might be a bit nervous when the time comes to do a full clean.

As Foxy said

"Its probably the most daunting operation to have to do initially. Once you have studied how to do it and pluck up courage to actually to it you'll sit back and wonder what all the fuss was about".

Just website for cleaning stuff, next day as I recall, Eclipse liquid, pecpads & 1 wand (to suit your camera, but I have a 14mm one, which can be used across & down); they were offering a kit including carry case when I got mine, which is quite useful & goes into front pocket of Lowepro TLZ2 for travel packing:

If you return to the CopperHill tutorials, you will see they tell you to take a sheet of white paper or a blank image on your screen at f22 & that shows up the trouble spots better than a sky; also you may need to repeat a couple of times, so this is also the test.

Default I wish I had bought an Olympus.

Never cleaned at all ever.
