Which chemical do you prefer using to clean the foam air filters?
I've been using straight Purple Power and although is works very well,
it seems to be harsh on the foam material. What I need is some kind
of water soluble cleaner that's a little easier on the foam.
I'm with Mek-a-nik - we'll replace them as soon as clean 'em - they're cheap but when they do get cleaned we just use the parts washer (mineral spirits) squeeze dry and re-oil and they're good to go - but usually if they do need cleaning, they get replaced - the nicer ones often can be just brushed off with a toothbrush and re-oiled.
