Does this filter need cleaning before I install it?

Inspect it before install — if there's any dust from shipping, a light rinse with clean water works fine. Dry completely before mounting in your air box.

Can I reuse this filter multiple times, or is it single-use?

This is a reusable filter. When it gets dirty, pull it out and clean it with water or compressed air. Let it dry fully before reinstalling.

What's the install process like — do I need special tools?

Installation is straightforward — it drops into your factory air intake housing the same way the original filter does. No special tools needed, just basic hand work to access your air box.
