Biltema Glass Wipes
Biltema Glass Wipes, art. no. 36-891 do their job, and the container is good at preventing the contents from drying out. However I would prefer one of the softer containers, that many of the competitors use.This enclosure is rather large and unhandy. The wipes feel very much like paper, but according to the warning, they…

Biltema Speed Shine
Biltema Speed Shine Art. 37-836 is a handy spray bottle, that’s used to apply the product onto the wet car after a wash. After applying it, one panel at a time, you wipe off the excess wax with a microfibre towel. This was one of the more impressive products that I have tested from Biltema.…

Biltema Wheel Rim Cleaner
I give Biltema Wheel Rim Cleaner, Art. 37-831, a try, to see if I can clean up my white rims. Not that impressed, even though I must admit that the painted front rims, had a pretty good layer of brake dust on them when I bought the Smart Fortwo. At the first wash, I got…

Biltema Prewash
I give the Biltema Prewash, Art. 37-834 a try, before going to a Smart Mini-meet. Does it make a difference? Normally I don’t use anything but a thorough rice before I foam in the Smart Fortwo, and wash it. Since I’ve never used a prewash before, I was pretty interested in seeing if it made…

Biltema Rim Brush

Optimize Chenille Wheel Brush
The Chenille Wheel Brush from Optimize was a huge upgrade compared to the old one from Biltema. Chenille (which comes from the French word for caterpillar) is what does the magic here. The brushwires on the previous one needed to be scubbed far harder and longer, compared to this brush, which almost feels like a…

So what do I do to keep the Smart Fortwo Cabrio looking nice and clean?I like to try out new products, and have made a collection of my tests and experiences here. Washing the exterior I know some people think that it doesn’t matter, but I’m not putting my retractable soft-top thru a car wash.It…

Getting the soft top unstuck on a Smart Fortwo
I got rather nervous, when the soft top on my Smart Fortwo Cabrio began to get stuck, when I tried to close it, and had to help it shut by pulling its sliders manually, while operating it. It started doing it two weeks ago, but the last few days it has gotten far worse, and…
