It was a lazy Sunday afternoon when a couple of friends
landed at my place unexpectedly. Their demand? Drive us to DLF Promenade Mall
(in south Delhi's Vasant Kunj) and feed us Nando's peri-peri chicken.
I happily agreed because I had never been to Nando's and always wanted to try their chicken but not before ensuring that they would pay the bill in return of chauffeuring them to the place.
Forty minutes later we entered the underground parking and as soon as we got out of the car a man with a booklet approached me offering "waterless car cleaning and polishing."
I wasn't interested at first but after he provided the details and the price, I decided to give it a try.
The service included:
** Interior panels dusting and cleaning with a wet wipe followed by a polish.
** Seats and mats cleaned with a wet wipe but no polish applied.
** Exterior body cleaned with a soapy spray followed by polish, all small scratches removed with a special spray.
** Tyres and alloys cleaned with soap and polished.
All this for just Rs. 200/-

Now I know that not everybody has the time for this because you go to a mall to
eat, shop and have fun not to get your car cleaned.
But I stayed back for just ten minutes till the guys were doing the interiors. As soon as they were done, I locked my car and left. (My friends had in the meantime managed to get a table in the restaurant which was bursting at seams as it was a Sunday afternoon)
And if you are thinking that what if I don't like the job once I return?
Well, you get a receipt of payment which carried the number of the company. If you are not satisfied, call them up and just give them the pillar number near which your car is parked and they will return with their sprays and polishes to make you happy.
I actually tried it, just to check and they did come within 5 minutes.
Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the work they did. It was money well spent.
I have never come across a similar service at any other mall in Delhi.
Honestly, I would be heading to Promenade more often now as it saves my time of spending hours at a service station because first you need to visit the place, then wait for your turn and then to get the job done.
P.S. The peri-peri chicken was scrumptious and so was the Portugese lemonade.
