TERRIBLE PROCEDURE - NO ONE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS - here is why:

1) NEVER EVER use a brush on a K&N or any similar filter - you ruined it.

2) NEVER use compressed air on a K&N you ruined it. You blow holes in the media - you don't have to see them to have them there.

3) When washing it, spray the soap on first - let soak in and dissolve oil and dirt and then rinse from inside out with warm water - not outside in - never outside in.

4) When done let it air dry and apply oil per manufacturer directions AND HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF THESE KINDS OF FILTERS.

It is 100% evident you failed to read any instructions from K&N.

Obviously I made an error in bullet #4 - I was typing too fast as I couldn't believe what I had just seen.

All I can say is Wow!! And some poor fool will follow this video rather than the instructions on the packaging.
