So I coughed up the 60.00 for sensor swipes and fluid and proceeded.
I have used just about the whole box and still lots of dust. Some guy
at the camera store suggested putting a single drop of fluid on the
sensor directly and I did it but the dust remains although it moves
from place to place,.... I don't believe there are any scratches
"yet"

NEVER EVER put liquid directly on the sensor of any camera unless the
manufacturer recommends this! We just had a thread were a gentleman ruined
his sensor by adding too much liquid to the swabs.

Make your own swabs with a PEC-PAD and use as little cleaner as possible.

But never wipe the dusty sensor with anything near dry otherwise
you'll scratch it.
It's just like cleaning a delicate first-surface mirror:
1. Blow off as much dust as possible.
2. Use a brush (the right kind) to sweep the sensor.
3. Use the swipes with fluid.
