Should be fine.

Best to use metho and earbud though.

dont wanna actually touch anything so ill stick with the spray.

also what about throttle body, should i bother with that.... its just on the other end of the piping isnt it?

Better off just using electrical contact cleaner to clean the actual MAF wires and mesh screen. As for the throttle body, butterfly and idle control valve, use carby cleaner and use plenty of it, but make sure you have some rags handy, as it makes quite a mess when it drains out everywhere.

well i did it, the wires were clean but the mesh had a fair bit of crap clagged onto it.
