Awesome. I have to clean my maf also. I have a K&N I dropped in since new. I know there are conflicting opinions on the washable filters but mine has worked great without any trouble.
I did notice I have a small rust beginning right along the seam of the bed behind the rear bumper so treated that as well (with POR). I will top coat it this week. There is a seam there where you can see it being a nice entry point for salt to sit. I worked the PORs best I could with a foam brush.

Disconnected the battery after jump starting it again, took it for a 10 min drive also. Piece of crap stock 540cca battery is at its end I feel. Was replaced in January 2011.

Washed, dried, clay'd, compounded, polished, and waxed her last weekend. Took 8 hours but was worth it, the paint is sooo smooth, it feels like glass.
