as above, is it best to just leave it to soak in water over night or something?

i read the packet and saw it said use the spray, i did not get any spray with it and i just dont see how spraying it with the spray will remove any gunk or grease off the filter?

jake - its like very compact sort of foam on the K&N cant imagine it does the filter any good being covered in grease

once they've been cleaned with de-greaser, then need oiling again, otherwise it wont filter the dirt as good
