I guess I should take a look at mine this summer......

Do you think it's safe to use some turpentine and a copper brush on it?

Just throw it in the dish washer. That's how I did mine, it's all bright and shiney now. Although the car runs really rough now?

last time I used a Q-tip, it ended up getting stuck in my nose! I'm not allowed to play with them anymore.

My finger mostly.......occasionally someone else's........sometimes I use a Q-tip also - but you don't want to dig too hard, the grey matter isn't very far up.

I used the gell packs, but i used cold rinse since I had my C.A.I in there and didn't want it to melt. The washing mach. works wonders for the K&N filter.

Re: Just cleaned MAF.

I only use spray MAF cleaner, and NEVER touch the actual wires.
