Simple Green and a water hose will get it sparkling white. Let it dry in the sun for a few hours before re-oiling.

+1 on the K&N working on about any cotton based filter.
I clean mine when it don't look too red anymore.

I like the S&B one. You can get red or blue.

Spray it liberally with Simple Green. You'll be amazed at what comes out of it. Once it's apparent that all the dirt has been removed and is on the driveway, rinse it well with water and let it dry, then re-oil. I've tried both methods, and the Simple Green gets it much cleaner than the K&N kit IMO.

What are you using to re-oil?
