06specialedition Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 The only other thing I would use besides the re-charger kit would be ......Simple Green! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) well my k&n pods cost me like 65$ i would recomend using ther cleaning product or dishsoap(ive used dishsoap on foam filters works great) But i wouldnt scrub it, the original directions say not to scrub, just knock the execss dirt loose go riding until you get cleaner. :cool: Edited May 20, 2009 by kawa110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I currently have a can of klotz air filter cleaner and a can of klotz fabric air filter oil. The cleaner took k&n's oil right out of the filter. It comes in a aerosol can so no more pumping. The oil is a light green or blue. The dye isn't verry strong so it is hard to tell when you have enough on. I ended up way over oiling my filters. Maxima has a fab1 foam and fabric oil. I have used it on foam filters. I wouldn't use it on a fabric filter. It is so sticky I don't think you would ever get it out. I think I am going to stick with klotz cleaner and k&n oil.
