Isopropyl Alcohol/Rubbing Alcohol
 
hey guys,

I need to get some Isopropyl Alcohol in bulk sizing, atleast in 1 gallon or 1 litre jugs. Anybody know where I could get a hold of some? I don't think London Drugs has it in that big of a size.

exactly what I was doing. No I need this for detailing, you diltue it 1:1 with water and wipe down the car before waxing. Gives the wax a stronger bond:thumbsup:.

Thanks for the tip guys!

Why not wax and grease remover? They sell that in 20L pails at most paint suppliers. Hell you could buy it in a 55gal drum if you want more.

Active Electronics NW corner of Boundary & 1st should also have it in large quantities.

Why spend more when all you need is Isopropyl alcohol. That may be a little to strong and I've never heard anybody use that method before. I'll stick with my alcohol. RS Group buy anyone?:haha:

I used to work at a detail shop. We used degreaser mixed with water all the time. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing I just did what I was told.

I'll stick to my alcohol lol, not saying that, that doesn't work. But theres a reason why people mix water/isopropyl alcohol to wipe the cars down before wax. It's cheap, and effective. Thanks for the tip though. I'm just going to get some isopropyl alcohol from London Drugs. It's close by, $4.00 for a 500ML thing though.

dishwashing liquid works pretty good LOL

on a side note, if u write ur name on the ground using alcohol and light it up on fire, it looks really cool! If ur gonna try this pls do it outside the road on concrete. do not try this inside ur house or hardwood.

Vansterdam 01-29-2009 12:44 PM

haha pretty much anything flammable.

Dishwashing detergent works to, but I'm not washing with that. I'm doing an ONR wash and an IPA wipedown (Isopropyl Alcohol)

That's all I use to clean my bong and volcano it works great when you use sand or sea salt to help remove the resin ;)

Try here? Not sure how much they charge but they have up to 5 gallon quantities. See if any of their retail channels sell the 5 gallon sizes. BC distributers
