Universal Filters

An air filter cleaner is the cheapest performance upgrade you'll never brag about, but your intake will thank you anyway. At Awesome GTI we stock cleaning kits for Racingline,  K&N,  034Motorsport,  Ramair, Eventuri and  Pipercross filters, covering foam and cotton gauze designs fitted to VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda intakes. Whether your car air cleaner filter has gone from white to grey, there's a kit here matched to it. 

 

What's in our Air Filter Cleaner Range?

Each air filter cleaning kit in this range is matched to the filter it's designed for, since foam and cotton gauze media need different treatment. The 034Motorsport kit is formulated for the oil and cleaning agent their intake systems specify. The Ramair CK-003 kit adds the polymer treatment their foam filters are impregnated with from new.

Looking for a foam air filter cleaner specifically? Both Ramair and Pipercross filters use foam media, and their kits are built around that. Brush off the dirt first, then apply the cleaner and re-oil. Whatever foam filter you're running, ours are matched to the specific filter brand and material rather than a one size fits all spray. 

Air filter cleaning kits enthusiasts actually trust

Our workshop uses every one of these kits on customer cars during routine servicing, not just to sell them. That means we know which cleaner actually shifts oil and grime off a Ramair foam filter without degrading it, and which oil re-coats a Pipercross element evenly without leaving it patchy.

These are the kits VAG enthusiasts trust, matched to the specific filter brand instead of a one size fits all spray. Stock sits at our Irlam warehouse ready to post out, or you're welcome to pick one up in person and ask us anything about fitting it.

Grab the kit that matches your filter online, or get in touch with our team of experts if you'd rather talk it through first.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best thing to clean air filters with?

For foam and cotton performance filters, a dedicated air filter cleaning kit made up of a cleaner spray and filter oil is generally the safest option. Kits from brands such as Ramair, Pipercross and Eventuri are formulated to lift dirt and oil residue without damaging the filter media, then re-oil it to restore filtration efficiency. Household detergents or strong solvents can strip filter coatings or leave a residue that affects airflow, so a purpose-made cleaner is the safer bet.

Can you use WD-40 to clean an air filter?

WD-40 is not recommended for cleaning an air filter. It is a light lubricant rather than a proper filter cleaner, and it can leave a residue that clogs the filter media or stops re-oiling products from adhering properly afterwards. A dedicated air filter cleaner is formulated to break down dirt and oil safely before rinsing, so it is worth sticking with a purpose-built product instead.

Can I clean my air filter myself?

Yes, cleaning a foam or cotton performance air filter at home is straightforward with the right kit. Most cleaning kits involve spraying on the cleaner, leaving it to work, rinsing with water, letting the filter dry fully, then applying filter oil before refitting. Always follow the instructions for your specific filter brand, as application methods and drying times can vary quite a bit.

Is air filter cleaner worth it?

For reusable foam and cotton performance filters, cleaner is a worthwhile investment as it extends the filter's working life rather than needing a replacement every time it gets dirty. Regular cleaning, roughly every 5,000km depending on driving conditions, keeps airflow consistent and helps maintain engine performance. It works out as a lower running cost than repeatedly buying disposable paper filters.
