I was about to buy some Eclipse + Sensor swabs to clean my D70, when I came across this thread. I was concerned by Vivek's comments about colour coming off the filter, so I emailed Photographic Solutions. This is the reply I got from David Stone:

The coloring is most likely the IR layer coating. The filter was installed by Nikon upside down ! I know this sounds preposterous, but we have seen this several times......
Otherwise, Eclipse and Swabs are totally safe, ergo, our guarantee !
