TwinAir Bio Filter oil and cleaner

I've actually had this product for awhile and just got around to trying it out (sorta) on a new filter. The oil I have is the spray on kind so ymmv. I'll state right here that I haven't actually tested this in riding conditions and I'm not 100% sure I am even going to :)

Garage was about 35 or 40 degrees and I was getting some bikes ready for a couple big rides. Figured it was a good time to bust out new filters and give the TwinAir Bio product a try. Opened up my nice clean soft filter and set it on some paper towels. Quickly scanned the can for directions and set about spraying the filter down. This stuff is green, very light green in my case but it nice that you can see how good of coverage you have. After getting a nice even looking coat on the filter I donned my rubber gloves and set about squeezing/massaging the oil into my filter NOT.....Filter was hard a rock, I could put some dents in it by there was to be no squeezing. I set the filter to the side and set about closing the garage door and firing up the torpedo heater. Put the filter in front of the heater (a safe distance away) and went inside for a few minutes. Went back out and the inside of the filter was still frozen, resorted to rotating it a bit closer to the heater. It finally thawed enough to massage the oil into the filter but by this time it appeared most of the oil had run off the frozen filter. I sprayed it down again and repeated, most of the green color is really faded and I am a bit apprehensive about how well it is oiled :( It feels a bit oily to the touch but so far this stuff is NOT sticky like No-Toil. I doubt you'd have this problem with pour on oil (if they make it) but I don't think I want to heat the garage or do this in the house just to oil a couple filters).

I [may] test the filter in Reno as I suspect there won't be much dust but I'm a bit nervous about it.

Anyone else have experience with this stuff?

I'm not sure, the stuff I have is spray on and was a freebie. I have another new air filter and am thinking about storing it and the can inside overnight, then taking in the garage and oiling it down to see if it looks like it gets better coverage. I'm sure I'd like the pour on version better, it gives me peace of mind to see some drip out when I'm massaging it.

I just did a quick search and they do offer it in both spray and pour on.

Just curious, are you talking about the propellants used in the spray cans,the cleaners or the oil itself?

Yes the Twin Air stuff was free to me and I figured it was worth trying out. I also have the Twin Air tubs that I used when I was using their oil and cleaner. As soon as I decide whether I'm staying with the Twin Air or going back to No Toil I'll clean the tubs and use them for that.

Even with No-Toil I didn't actually clean filters in the sink, I used a bucket of warm water.

I left the Twin Air spray can inside overnight, took it out to the garage and sprayed a warm filter and it immediately froze again. I'll probably end up getting a bottle of oil for now, use the spray this spring/summer and then make a decision.

Finally got around to 'attempting' to clean a couple dirty filters last night. I am very disappointed :( Followed the Twin Air intructions which include letting the filter soak for 15 minutes. The filter was still dirty and stained. I mixed up a new bucket of hot water and cleaner and tossed it back in before I went to bed, I'll check it out when I get home from work today. I have a couple new filters for Aimee's bike and the Twin-Air product will never touch them, it's back to No-Toil for us.

Right now I don't even think I'll end up using the rest of the free stuff.
