I got some from a dry cleaners shop once. They weren't great because they were white and only 20L.

Try ebay.

Thanks mate, great idea, never thought of that. I know a man with 3 dry cleaners. Be ok to get started with, i guess

 
Any tesco car wash as all their tfr etc is in 25l drums

I chat with the guys at my local tesco and park that end of the carpark whenever i go and they are happy to keep some aside if i need some as they chuck them.when done

 
Went to buy some of gumtree last week the guy said they were cleaned out he was after 2.50 per 25l. When I got there he said they had not been cleaned but i could have two extra for free, I just said no thanks.. Then i went on ebay got four brand new for 24 quid.. Keep me going for now.

 
I get them uncleaned from the car wash

Just fill and empty them 3 times with garden tap and then fill half fill with pure and shake well then drain

Perfect aftet that

 
Look out for taxi drivers on your rounds - a couple of my customers have given me some for free when I mentioned it to them.

Taxi drivers often bulk buy their screenwash in 25L containers and as its just soapy water its perfect and easy to clean out! :thumbsup:
