Finally when needed a wet clean. Use a first quality wet cleaning kit and follow instructions. It is not that hard or risky. Remember you are really just cleaning a protective glass layer over the sensor.
I have yet to encounter any contamination that these won't clean.

I have been using one of those, but I feel there are things it won't remove.
Thanks Allen..
Sometimes it can take 3 or 4 times doing it to get the stubborn stuff but I can usually get it. I have never done a wet clean. Of course I don't change lenses often. My 35 stays prrtty much stuck on the M 10 Mono.

The Morris Minor was a British economy family car with more than 1.6 million manufactured between 1948 and 1972. This car is one of the third and final 1000 series (1956 to 1971) so it's at least 50 years old.
Failed to nail focus on this at f/2. Still learning. Next time I’ll shoot from further away or stop down, but I’m a bokeh junkie.
I have other some shots where my wife is in the frame too. Focus was perfect on my wife yet she complains it’s too sharp and tells me to “add a filter” haha can’t win.

I escalate my sensor cleaning as needed.

Unfortunately I have on my M240, nearly dead center and just lived with it until the shutter blew. Leica intended to replace the shutter at no charge (despite being out of warranty), but they wouldn't proceed unless I paid to replace the sensor because they weren't able to remove that spot and the sensor therefore 'didn't perform to specifications.' IIRC that was $900. The sad thing is, sometime last year the sensor collected another one of those stubborn spots that wet cleaning won't remove in nearly the same place...
