success! hope i used enough oil....i layed it pretty thin. Well today was a good day for my car....new fuel filter and clean air filter! Runs much smoother (even if it's all in my head....placebos can be powerful!!)

 

The trick is to do a thin layer, wait about 15-20 minutes then touch up the light spots and make the color even throughout the outer surface of the filter.

either way, if in doubt, leave it alone

Enjoy!

 

I got a different filter from them to use just for car show. If you still want theirs http://www.jlttruecoldair.com/ZenCart/index.php

 

I replaced mine with a new filter from Brenspeed, I think it sold for $39. Didn't feel like cleaning the old one.
