Help - Cleaning Ears

My cat was off balance earlier this week. Took him to the vet, who said it
could be that his ears are filled with stuff. She cleaned out his ears and
got some "junk" out of them, using a cleaning solution, qtips and then gauze
pads. She said to use the cleaning solution, squirt it in his ears, massage
the base, let him shake his head & then clean stuff out of the outer portion
of his ear that becomes dislodged.

Well, we've cleaned his ears the last 2 nights - I don't know if I'm doing
it wrong but I got a tiny tiny speck of something out of the outer part of
his ear last night, and nothing tonight. This is the first time I've
cleaned his ears so am I doing it wrong, or did she possibly get most of the
stuff out of his ears 2 days ago? He shakes his head as soon as I squirt
the stuff in - maybe I'm putting in too much? The bottle says to apply
liberally - that's not real precise.

Any ideas? I can try calling the vet tomorrow, I just thought someone might
have some tips on how the heck to do this!

Thank you. BTW, he is walking much better, so the ear cleaning - when the
vet did it - seems to have helped quite a bit.
