can i use standard window cleaner instead of the Gila application solution?

The kit is nice, but for extra solution or saving money, you can easily make your own. I successfully use *distilled or R/O* water (not tap - that has mineral in it that can leave deposits/film behind and be trapped) and i've used as little as 2 drops of soap and I like to add a dash or 2 of rubbing alcohol into it as well but maybe not necessary. This makes the slippery surface needed to slide the material around for positioning.

Can this solution be used to apply other window films that aren't the Gila brand?

Yes, pls choose the static cling window film, not with glue, i bought a privacy window film from this seller:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EJG55KKworked very well with this product.

Page for window film suggested i buy gila rtk500 application tool kit complete and this, which kit includes. is this excessive amt of solution? thx

Yes it is too much & I don't know what to do with the rest of it. Does it clean glass/mirrors wood tile or what? It's 16 fl. oz.(473 ml) And you just need as much as you would use Windex to clean glass/mirrors. The instructions on the Film explains everything you need and it doesn't say anything about having to buy this product. I love the Film though. It's very pretty but can get bubbles after some time so it needs to be adjusted with or without the film tool kit.

Can you use this on a garage door window (plexiglass)?

Yes, it works on plexiglass and acrylic products. I used a similar static cling film on my garage door windows and it worked flawlessly. I highly recommend these static films for privacy, light diffusion and glare reduction, along with the overall look and ease of use.
