Yea i did that but the filter is still black?? Is the K&N cleaning gear any good??

dip it in a bucket of mineral methelated spirit after you have removed the larger dirt particles..
soak it in for a while then take out and rinse under running water...
that should work

if u have a K&N kit and filter use the KIT

Yeh as Danny said, can't you purchase a cleaning kit?

For me, I'm just buying cheaper filters like Simota ($50) and when it comes time for a service, throw it out and buy a new one

yeah you can get chaep simota filter now, which when tested a few years ago in hot 4s , it performed pretty good compared to other big brand, i think it was 3rd. there wasnt much different with the K&N and simota.
they are only like around $25 in Adelaide, and sometimes they even $20 on special, so i pretty much just go out and buy a new one every 10000KM when i do my service, and ditch the old one.

but you can clean it with the kit, just make sure you oil it at the end, i was told that the kit has the oil, but never used one b4.

yes, use the k&N recharger cleaning kit.....make sure you oil the filter with the K&N filter oil otherwise the filter will no stop the dirt witout the oil.

there shd be cleaning instructions given when u purchase it.

s2k: i found the k&n to work alot better than the simota. I have both the simota pod and k&n pod, and i found the k&n to flow alot better than the simota. But yeh you are right, accordin to hot4s they came somewhee 3rd or so. So hmmm.. i dont know..
4PERVZ: make sure when you clean the K&N you dont get any crap on the inside of the filter. Just soak it in some cleaning solution and roll it around.. dont swish swoash it around cause you will surely get some on the inside and when that happens you might get crap sucked in to the engine you use it next time. Oh and remmeber to oil it too, cause the oil helps the filtration process.

Use an old tooth brush and some soapy water
