Gel stick cleaner

That video actually convinced me that it is worth a try over wet methods, with that gel stick I bet we would only need to do a wet clean once a year just to make sure every thing is clean just like spring housecleaning. I do not think the gel stick would put up much pressure unless you strong armed it needlessly.

I may be wrong, but I see a lot of force to lift the gel stick ...

I have not tested the gel stick... I'm afraid of it!
The thickness of lowpass filter is 0.8 mm (0.0315 inch)
The clearance between the sensor is 0.05mm (0.0020 inch)

Well, the adhesion comes from the contact, not how hard you press down. Someone else said that you don't want to press down too hard with it where the gel 'flattens" out on the sensor.That video actually convinced me that it is worth a try over wet methods, with that gel stick I bet we would only need to do a wet clean once a year just to make sure every thing is clean just like spring housecleaning.

It has sped up my sensor cleaning greatly because I'm quite sure that the vast majority of loose dust specks will be picked up with the gel. I then make a decision as to what's left and if I need to wet clean or not. And what's left after the gel is primarily cemented-on dust and lubricant.

Thanks I have ordered one, it sure looks like it will speed up the process.

Please post one link to a report where your hypothetical scenario actually happened. Then your F.U.D. will be justified. The adhesion of the gel is what makes it work so well.
The AA-filter is much tougher than people give it credit for. It is a coated piece of glass that will naturally have some flexibility to it as shown in the video. IOW, it may bend but won't break (unless you use a hammer and chisel).

I do not doubt of the good and easy cleaning done with the gel stick, always after giving a good blow with the blower to remove loose dust around the sensor
For the pressure of the gel touching the sensor no problem, you do carefully,
but now for lifting the gel? ... the video seems to show a lot of strength to,
