Saw this ad come up and was astounded at the prices for the kits. If you are near a bike shop let them know of your services!!!!

Less slip is best . Just enough to position .
Eat your Wheaties before installation .
SLOW DOWN !!!! Pretend its your job to remove ALL the water/slip solution !! Oh wait ...IT IS YOUR JOB!!
The faster you go, the more "hydro planing " happens leaving slip solution behind.
Use a solid blue blade squeegee no more than 6" wide .
HORIZONTAL PASSES ONLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vertical passes leave trails water will follow causing blisters.
Horizontal leaves no place for water to flow.
Water pressure at any depth is the same in a slip trail , fish tank or the lake. It will push the film off the glass!!
For easy alignment of your squeegee passes ,line up handle with the division between wet and dry from your last pass.
Be sure to "snowplow "at about 10° steering slip solution down the glass with each pass.

I wonder how challenging it would be to kindof sorta move from solar films to just all deco???
Getting in good with all the local contractors as the ""I know a quy" guy will be the best place to be if you want to go all deco.
I hope you are already good at reading plans. Bidding on new construction will be a good place to find the work.
Do you already have a plotter ?

The install starts around 13:50

Please post pics of the offense so we can better evaluate what the issue is

All of the advice above is on point.
Be very clear to the client regarding quality expectations.
Go over with them about the much higher attention to detail required.
Let them know why the price will reflect your efforts.

I'm wondering if the debris found may be lanolin deposits from your use of baby shampoo that is coating the inside of the sprayer.
My other not so likely suspect is mineral deposits from the water.
Try a new sprayer out using distilled water and Tintslime.
Works like baby shampoo without the baby shampoo shmoo.

What @Whyme said
Looks like fibres and a crease in your blurry photo. Quite often a short piece of blue tape near the issue will help the camera focus.

And now for something different...
I came across a virtual tour from a VERY remote install done a year or so ago.
We printed the graphics for one of our dealers . Its print on 3M DC and Clearview if you are interested.
Just hit English ( or your other favourite language) then Start then follow the foot prints...
You will notice round icons to click on that tell the story of the artist and the art supplied for this project.

And keep the slip to a minimum

I put these on WAAY to many hot meals.
When eating fries with ketchup you make a pile of 'chup . Grind equal parts on top. Dip till you need to grind again and repeat.
