Fabspeed sells BMC de-greaser/cleaner and oil for your filter. I would imagine it's similiar to using K&N de-greaser and oil. Spray degreaser, let sit for about 3-5 mins, then rinse with water. Let filter dry completely then spray with the oil. Just be sure not to overspray the oil.

The best way is to buy the factory clean/recharge kit and follow the instructions.

carcster88 is infamous around these parts

Just a typical K&N filter technique, I am doing mine tomorrow. Does not take that long. You can buy a K&N filter recharge kit at any auto parts store. DO NOT OVER OIL and let the filter DRY OUT before you oil it/put back in car. I always wipe mine off with a paper towel after. Kitchen sink works fine to clean the filter also....make sure the wife is not home.
