Never use WD40 to clean the MAF unless your goal is to ruin it and get a new one under warranty.

Use distilled water and isopropanol. Or the contact cleaner

Use electrical contact cleaner...other things will not evaporate fast and can leave a residue on it.

go to your local autozone, pepboys, etc. and buy this mass air sensor cleaner. i usually clean mine at every oil change.

Since the Evo doesn't use a hotwire maf, just wiping it down is ok

I use it evrytime I change my air filter although the maf sensor never seems to be that dirty. Someone that has a oil type filter(K and N, aem non driflow filter,etc.) might see more dirt and gunk coming off the maf sensor when cleaning due to the oil on the filter.

I used brake cleaner and it's been fine. I do it on every oil change too.
