David, I use Pec pads and Eclipse and a Sensor swipe wand. It works well though it may take a few attempts to get all the dust off. I also find it's a pain to wrap the pad around the wand. I have also spent the money on Visible Dust brush to use for not so stuck on dust - it should be quicker and easier. It arrived yesterday so I have yet to try it out.
