Where get cheapest methylated spirits?

Depends what you want to clean. Try removing sticker residue from body panels with soap... Meths, OTOH, does it quickly without fuss.

Try a specialist chemical supplier such as

£6.16 for 2.5litres

The terms and conditions that you accept when you buy a ticket to cross the channel on any carrier, plus Section 52 of the Air Navigation Order if you are flying, whether in a private aircraft or on a carrier.

It's about £5 / litre from CPC

unless you're buying in bulk, which you're not, in which case chemical suppliers are more reasonably priced

£3.50 / litre doesn't sound too expensive to me for the quantities you're after. It's hardly worth pissing about for the quantity you're looking for

He may be misquoting this from P&O iii) Unless we give you prior written permission (which shall always be at our sole discretion), you may not bring with you any firearms or other weapons of any nature or substances of an explosive or hazardous nature. You may carry inflammable substances only in limited quantities and in accordance with our instructions and permission.

Since carriers (that would include me btw) safely move dangerous goods daily there are regulations to comply with in this case IMDG usually it means the goods are OK in small quantities in approved and marked containers and with information as to what to do in case of a spillage DW

I buy my Meths at Wilkinsons (Wilko), and if memory serves me well, it was £0.99 for 500mL.

Nope. They tend to use 250mol bottles ONLY.

similar?

For some things maybe but there are applications for which some sort of alcohol is by far the best cleaning agent. I made what I thought was a reasonable assumption that the OP had a specific cleaning requirement that needed alcohol and that he wasn't just washing his hands with it.

Soap is a wetting agent and is not a good cleaner and it doesn't kill germs either. That is why soap powders have been replaced by detergents as they are far better at cleaning.

Meths isn't very good at cleaning either, it is a solvent and you have to keep diluting and then removing the solution. There are better degreasers (for example) but they are a bit more dangerous in the wrong hands.

Meths is still useful as antifreeze in the windscreen washers but it can attack the wiper rubbers.

MAGIC!!!
