Only demonstrated on K&N Airfilter cause thats the only cleaning product I have left, I should've made this write up when I still had a K&N Air Filter.
But I used the exact same method for my Apexi Air filter and that turned out fine! & I think there are proper instructions on the K&N site, but heres from a personal experience.
Whats needed:
1x AIR FILTER CLEANER (For your Filter Brand)
1x AIR FILTER OIL
1x LOTS OF TIME
1x CLEAN/ Non-Dusty Room
Instructions:
Make sure you are not driving your car for the whole day when you do this (Just to be on the safe side)
1. Spray the Air Filter Cleaner onto the outside of your Airfilter
2. Spray the Air Filter Cleaner onto the inside of your Air filter
NOTE*: Completely Drench it.
3. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, dont let the air filter cleaner dry on this.
NOTE*: This apparently loosen the dirt if I remember correctly from the instructions.
4. Rinse your air filter (Yes thats correct!) Rinse it all over.
NOTE*: Continue rinsing until you think all the air filter cleaner is gone!
5. Let it sit at a position so the water can drip out easily!
NOTE*: DONT USE ANY FORM OF SPEED DRYING (Hair dryer etc)
OPTIONAL STEP for K&N Airfilters:
Once the air filter is dry.
6. Spray the air filter oil EVENLY across your airfilter.
NOTE*: Let it dry for about 20 minutes
But I suggest a whole day.
Touch your air filter after about 20-30 minutes (or a whole day) and see if the filter oil rubs off (its a pink colour)
I can post some images, but it'll be with a different air filter as I didnt take photos of it when I had my K&N Air filter.
But photos are requestable!
