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
Testing out the Biltema Rim Brush Art. 37-4503. The brush pretty much does what it says on the box. The bristles on the brush are stiff, and they are good at getting in everywhere except the tightest corners, where you have to work a fair bit harder. Some rim brushes can scratch the rims with…

Upgrading the fortwo’s radio to a 2-DIN CarPlay unit
The original radio is pretty old school, the most high-tech features it has to boast about, are TA (Traffic Announcement) and the integrated CD player. A lot has happened since 2009, and I can hardly remember when I last removed a CD from its cover, to play it on a CD-Player 🤔 I have chosen…

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…

Enø – Smart Mini Meet
There are a handful Smart Mini Meets around the country, at intervals, so there is usually one, somewhere every week. Today I drove down to the idyllic island of Enø, near the town Næstved, to meet other Smart Klub Danmark members. Of cause the Smart needed a thorough bath, followed by a scrub behind its…

When the gearbox forgets what it’s job is
Left the highway the other day, via the off-ramp, to mount the side rails, and close the soft-top. When I reached the red lights, at the end the off-ramp, it seamed like the transmission didn’t change down from second gear to first, and the engine stalled. It started up without any problems, and I had…

Seatbelt pads with the Danish Smart Clubs logo
My Smart Fortwo Cabrio had a nice set of red seatbelt pads, that matches the red leather seats, when I bought it. They have “Smart Klub Danmark“, the name of the Danish Smart Klub, on them. I’m a bit ambivalent with them, as they have to be pulled down to the seat belt buckle, manually…

Steering wheel knobs
When I bought my Smart Fortwo, it had a steering wheel knob fitted to the steering wheel. It was one of the first things to go. It’s not for me, and already on the way home, it got snagged in the sleeve of my jacket, and collided with my hand while turning. The Fortwo’s usually…
