I agree, I think the thicker film is definitely worth it. I bought the thinner film locally because the guy assured me that it was all he used on headlights AND he sold it to me for about 1/4 the cost of the Xpel stuff. It was worth trying at that price, but if/when I need to replace it on the 9-3 I'll go back to 1mm 'headlight' film.
I don't remember where you're located, but if it's below 70F when you install it, be sure to keep everything (glass & film) as warm as possible with a hair dryer. It makes application a LOT easier & allows the film to stretch & follow the glass curve smoothly.
The spray solution was a simple 50/50 mix of IPA & water.
