That is a new one for me. Can't say I am willing to brush fluid on my sensor yet - but it is amazing what people come up with to address this problem. It also seems rather complicated (drying times, leveling, the warnings in the instructions, etc vs. simply using a blower brush.)

Nothing left that would need another run with fresh pads or corner pads or something alike. You might like to give it a try - for me it worked very well.
