Can you comment on the use of sensor stamps?

@Jayvo86 I have seen them, but not used them. I have heard mixed results. I did have experience with the "speck grabber" which was a little stick with a little dab of plastic on the end that was supposed to let you grab the dust one speck at a time... it was a miserable failure and was what made me learn the wet method -I had to clean up after the "speck grabber."

I purchased a sensor stamp over here in Japan. It's been ok for "light duty." However, I bought a used 5D that seem like it had NEVER had the sensor cleaned. All the stamp did was smear and speck dust everywhere. Needless to say, I went wet immediately after. I think the stamp would be ok for light use and just specs. The instructions say your supposed to wash the tips with soap and water too. I was just curious on your experience. Thanks!
