i think it all depends on how OCD you are with cleaning...sometimes when using Qtips, it can get caught up on an edge and leave little pieces of cotton

Yes, that is true. My actual technique is to apply the cleaner/lube with the q-tip, then cover the skinny end of the nylon brush with the microfiber cloth and use that to do the real cleaning/final wipe.
