CCD and Sensor cleaning

Does anyone know of any good shops/websites where I can get cleaning stuff for Camera sensors and CCD. It's for my brother.

Anything local to Los Angeles would be helpful.

Go to a camera store and get yourself a Hurricane Blower.

Samy's in Venice (just west of Lincoln) has them. It should run around $10 (AFAIR) and works like a charm. I haven't had any problems removing debris from the sensor since getting the blower.

If the stuff is really "stuck-on", I've used the Copperhill method with great success. http://www.pbase.com/copperhill/ccd_cleaning

Some of the materials are on the expensive side, but it'll clean pretty much anything that the Hurricane blower won't.

lol, this is the stuff my brother asked for, but it looked like it would be a pain to get. I need something urgently though, maybe I will send him the blower first, and while thats on it's way I'll order this one.
