Re: B8 cleaned, polished and sealed with Zaino

Hi Vectra Yes, after my friend recommended them for their ease of use and superb results, I was hooked. I did clay bar my old B6 because we bought it second hand and the paintwork wasn't exact glassy smooth. After a morning of claying / lubricating with Z7 in a spray bottle the surface was amazing. ...

B8 cleaned, polished and sealed with Zaino

After having a great experience with Zaino detailing products from Zaino Europe, using them on my old B6, I thought that my week old B8 deserved a good start to its life! First of all a good wash with Zaino Z-7 show car wash. Then three coats of Zaino Z-2 Pro polish with ZFX accelerator additive to ...

Re: Anyone order one?

How's the Passat going now? What's the ambient lighting like at night? Does it extend across the dash or is it only on the doors? Best of luck. Ambient lighting looks great. The lighting is a cool white light. The LED strips are along the width of all four doors, just below the door handles on the ...

Re: Anyone order one?

First post.....my faithful B5.5 Highline has been sold to a chap in the village and I collect my SE Business in the morning. Like others here I used a quote from a broker and local dealer improved. Mine was in the showroom so was ready to go almost straight away. If this new model serves me and the...

Re: Anyone order one?

Just got in from my first 'on my own' night drive. As I walked to the car park and unlocked the car ready to come home, my pals were gobsmacked at the rear 'dynamic' LED lights and the main LED projection headlights with dynamic cornering. Oh well, boys and cars,easily pleased :roll: Driven only 150...

Re: LED headlights level 1 vs level 2

I have the standard Discovery Navigation in my GT saloon and it sounds pretty good compared to my wife's B7 RNS315, which I always thought sounded very clear, with a good midrange and bass. I had an Alpine double din DVD unit with J L Audio speakers and a 4 channel J L Audio amp in my old B6 saloon ...

Re: LED headlights level 1 vs level 2

Hi, I have the GT saloon 150PS with premium LED headlights and DCC suspension and the ride is great, even on the 18" alloys and rough B roads. We test drove the standard GT with 18" alloys and an SE Business with 17" London alloys and the ride was great on both even with standard susp...

Re: Anyone order one?

Yes it does - my wife and daughter went for it immediately. I love the clean sharp look of your Tungsten though. Having some second thoughts now. I have never seen the Crimson in real life, only in pictures. I would definitely try and see a car in whatever colour you eventually go for. We've had re...

Yes, Tungsten Silver with black Alcantara. Crimson with cream sounds very luxurious!

Re: Anyone order one?

OK, I have finally uploaded some pics of our new GT. First of all the new B8 looks huge compared to my old B6. Even my wife's B7 cowers down before it in our driveway, and I thought that looked pretty purposeful next to my old car old 6 years. First thing that struck us when driving back from our de...

Sorry, just got back in from a test drive on one of our close motorways. Lovely ambient lighting system in the car, premium LED headlights are superb and the DCC adaptive chassis control is excellent in the various modes. Sorry will upload some pictures tomorrow and report on the rest of the car. My...

Yes these past two weeks have been excrutiating! Although I get to drive my wife's B7 at weekends so that's nice, and I still really enjoy my 2006 B6! Good news on the album art.

Re: Anyone order one?

I think it looks excellent Zedsdead. Very clean and sharp in white.

I've been told I can go and see my Tungsten Silver GT at VW tomorrow but it's covered in plastic wrapping etc. Think I'll leave it to handover day on the 25 April
