if u use water u have to let it dry. id use compressed air first then if that doesnt do it good enough then use waster but LET IT DRY for at least 4 hours

no not that kind of air. im talking about WITHOUT water. just blowing off the dirt when the filters off. im not spray it while the filter is on the truck. im talking about taking the filter off, spraying like dust cleaner air on the filter before it is washed

That ONLY applies for K&N style (gauze/cotton) filters... I have been drying mine with my compressor for a long time now... No problems what so ever!!
Just follow the instruction posted to clean it, they are pretty straight forward
