Picked up an air filter at the dealer today, and plan to keep the old one. Got to looking at the new one at a stop light and realized it's not paper, but a quite durable plastic material that seems like it would stand up to a rigorous cleaning quite well. So, I'm going to devise a way to clean it extremely well and am looking for advice. The objective is to bring it back to as near new filtration and airflow as possible without damaging it.
Here's a method I'm thinking of:
-Hit it with compressed air, then spray it with Simple Green, let sit for 10 minutes and immerse in a bucket of clean water, then slosh around. Repeat twice with the objective of loosening and rinsing out the very fine particles. Air dry.
What do you think and has anyone tried this?
