My sensor has dust inside and i dont know what would be the best and safest
way to clean the inside (sensor) i ordered a rocket blower, but im not sure that only will do the job. Any of you guys have tips? How did you effectively clean yours?
Thanks!

Since you use Nikon cameras, this article has information relevant to what you need (and was not cited in the thread linked to above): http://www.bythom.com/cleaning.htm

The main thing to keep in mind is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Be selective and careful about when and where you change lenses. My D2x has only required one wet cleaning in the 4 years I've had it.

Usual progression in ascending order of difficult dust bunnies is rocket blower, sensor brush, wet cleaning.

Go to http://visibledust.com. That's about as comprehensive a site as I've seen, and their products are excellent.
