Bulk buy screen wash?

[iDrive]

Can anyone point me to where I might be able to buy screen wash in quantities of more than 2litres? (I know I can buy multiple 2L bottles...)

I am looking for a supplier to HGV operators etc, I seem to be forever buying 2L bottles...!

Exactly this. Its what I buy. I cannot understand why people would buy the ready to use stuff which is diluted with water

I buy a 25 lire concentrate drum from motor parts direct
I then make 50 litres of 50/50 mixture perfect for this time of year

This costs only around £18 plus vat so an absolute bargin

I just get 25l of concentrate from Eurocarparts, the whole family helps themselves then. If you have an hgv fleet whichever motor factors you have an account with will supply similar

This.
Motor Factors around the corner do the same... lasts me about a year for our 'fleet'. Fleet equals me plus Mrs plus daughters etc.
On my way to pick some up next week.

I use very little of the stuff, so I buy the ready to go stuff cos it's less hassle.

Thanks for the suggestions

Just bought this, £18.89 for 25Litres including VAT and delivery - Summer dilution is 1:9 and winter advice is to use it neat.

Hassle? Using concentrate is no more difficult than pouring water and milk into a mug to make tea!

That would be very involved for some on here judging by some of the questions asked each day

Ok then let's go with more involved.

Activity A can be more hassle than activity B and still not be difficult

I maintain that mixing screen wash is neither but it's not worth discussing further, we're all different.

There is more to it though than just tipping it in like you would with the pre mixed stuff, that's why for me it's more involved or dare I say it, hassle. But yes we are all different.
