What do you all use for cleaning your air filters? My local riding group uses gasoline (3), Maxima (2), and K&N (1), with an honorable mention for No-Toil.
I was moving to use Maxima but the first (and last) time I used it the smell drove everyone out of the house for several hours, even after I washed the filter in dawn dish soap, when I brought it inside the basement to dry before oiling. I cannot use it again, so I am donating it to the other person in our group that uses it.
I was thinking of moving to a Twin-Air system with the expensive plastic tubs because I could keep the tubs filled between cleanings/oiling but I have no idea how it smells. The old school method of using gasoline or kerosene is smelly, somewhat risky and in the case of gasoline is reported to lessen the life of the filters.
