    Now, that attachment actually makes sense. I would be wearing a good respirator though.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Best one I saw was a rotary device that didn't try to remove all the dirt in a blast. It was from over 10 years ago in FarmShow.

    The company is still in business

    and they have a video:

    I think I'd move farther away from the doorway too.

    I would be concerned that the Tire Blaster method could damaged your filtering material. After all those air filters were not designed for high pressure. One little tear in that filter paper and you have dirt entering your engine. Premature engine overhaul?

    The second method looks like a far superior way to clean air filters and more inline with what they were designed to do.
