Default Sensor Cleaning?

What do you use/recommend? I'm ordering a Giottos Rocket tonight, but was just wondering if there was anything else out there worth buying. Thanks in advance for the tips.

i forget the exact stuff i used when i was working at NTP, but it was this solution stuff, and you drip it onto these swabs and go from there...it really helps to pick up one of the magnifying lights (forgot the name of that as well) so you can really see the sensor and where the spots are. I'll be going there probably by wednesday and if you can wait till then i'll tell ya exactly what the stuff was and how much it is...

Just got my "Q.ball" in today. Thinking about buying a brush as well. Any more suggestions?

What is the "Q.ball"?

Dont use brushes for the sensors! Use the swabs and the correct solution! I'm going back in to the shop on Tuesday I'll text you the name of it all...

Ummm, it's pretty big. Haven't seen an original rocket, so I can't compare it.
