Cleaning K&N filters

#1 PostAuthor: Pigford » Thu Aug 30, 2007 6:59 pm

Anyone know of a safe & effective method to clean K&N pod filters.
I bought the filter kit, but thats a tenner and includes spray oil. The cleaner is in a pump action bottle and only enough to clean a set of 4, twice.
As K&N's are made with cotton filters, its important to clean 'em carefully & also dry 'em slowly, so they don't shrink like your Levis's :wink:
I thought about some washing powder (DAZ) but not sure if this will be OK :?:
It say's not to use solvent or petrol, as this will knacjer 'em :|

Cheers Kev, but I really want to find out if there was a 'cheap & easy' option, such as using 'Fairy Snow' washing powder to good effect, and cheaper :wink:
Better stick to the manufacturers directions I suppose :cry:
