Default Anybody with BMC air filter cleaning instructions??

Hi guys. It's time I clean my BMC air filter but the cleaning kit i purchased last year does not have the instructions and the actual product is written in Italian. Anybody have 'em handy??

Also, I can tell which is the oil, but it's not in spray form...it's got a little spout like what you see with squeeze-type bottle polish/wax. What's up with dat??

To correctly clean oil mesh air filter, place in garbage can, close lid, walk away.

tt:
You clean it the way you would a K&N. Soak it in cleaner, rinse it from engine side of the filter to push out the dirt. Let Dry overnight. Then spray it with oil until there are no more white spots. BTW, I threw mine away too.

I use the K&N cleaner kit, but try to do it on a sunny day. Rinse it with a hose, then let it dry. Spray the oil on it and last but not least, use a hair dryer or heat gun to dry up that oil.

I have CIS so there's no sensor to clog up...
