What's the best way to get ya cone looking mint again? this was mine when I 1st fitted it but now it looks a bit grubby

put it in the washing machine............






you can buy filter cleaner mate for about 15quid K+N cleaner...brings them up nice actually

 

Don't be tempted to use washing up liquid or anything, it'll knacker the filter element. This is what you need

Cheers geez,as above btw gen k&n cleaner is the way to go.

 

They will NEVER llok as red and new as that again after a few miles, even with the K&N cleaner, which is what I use, and a lot of other stuff wil damage the filter media, which is surgical grade cotton, they do come reddish in colour but nowhere like a new one, also allow time to dry naturally as quick drying damages them also, always wash from clean side to dirty side, the cleaner is well worth the money, I have had my last bottle for around 5 years, and have done around 15 with this.

Sweet so when cleaning go from the inside out wards? also car is off the road for winter so plenty of time to dry el-natural

mine have always come out perfect after, look just like new. Yeah all you need to do is brush off any loose crap, spray the cleaning spray on, leave it for a while then rinse from the inside out until all the dirt is out of it, repeating as necessary. Leave it to air dry then re-oil it!

 

Sweet rinse with water using the hose pipe?


Luciano

 

unless you can find anything else to rinse it with then yes

 

Sorry its early


Luciano

 

I just hit it on the workbench gently amazing what crap comes out to start with.

oiling was mroe difficult thatn cleaning it i found

i just put the cleaner through the centre first to wash out the crap, then collected the run off into a deep baking tray and then just rolled the filter around to get rid of the rest of the crap

left it to dry over night then re-oiled it with the spray in the kit

it's about £20 worth of kit when i bought it, but it made it look like new even if i didn't feel any benifits to doing the cleaning
