    Clearly, the message is: Wash your hands with a Canon. It does not dry your hands like soap can.
    CC, Image editing OK.

    Check the manual that came with your camera, it varies depending on model.

    The manual say's I can use either, however if I want brighter images to use the same headlight fluid that goes in my car on the lens.

    Jeez, what a lousy ending.

    I really thought he was going to mount the lens and take a photo.

    What a let-down !!!!

    I'ld say: use the blackwash - that would create fantastic B/W shots.

    A dash of red food colouring is needed if you want IR photography.

    Man... I may have to invest in a Canon if it's that easy to clean these guys!

    I do agree with Cage though, I think if he attached it after it drying it and then showing us the amazingly new clean images, would have been an epic ending.

    Now sits as an antique as it no longer focuses properly.
