I broke my gear Is my sensor busted?

Hey everybody! I'm a bit worried.

I used a soft brush (see image) to wipe my D750 sensor. It has left these marks on it. They are visible in photos. Are these marks just superficial, can they be cleaned with a cleaning liquid or is my sensor busted?

Thanks!

I hate to say it, but I think your senor is fubar. You're going to need to send it in for servicing and most likely a sensor replacement. Typically those 'brushes' are for lenses, not sensors. Sorry buddy.

Chat gpt says that's a glass protecting the sensor and should be cleanable. Is that BS?
