So I just hit 60k miles and am getting a full tune up today.... the car is actually in the shop right now... I'm getting my oil, oil filter, air filter, brake pads, spark plugs,and fog lights replaced. The one thing I forgot to get was Engine Restore... I heard good things about that stuff and was planning on putting it in during this tune up.... have any of you actually used the stuff? did it improve anything? The car HAS been running kinda sluggish and idling pretty rough... I'm hoping the tune up will fix this but will Engine Restore still be needed?

 

i personally dont know what that is. are u talking about seafoam maybe?

I would definitely not put that crap in my engine (my sincere apologies to the word crap for using it to describe that product). Have you lost compression? 60k, I doubt much if any. That stuff will leave its film and buildup on every component that oil touches. That is bad. Buildup of crap is bad. The BEST thing you can do for your engine is keep it clean. Thats why seafoam is such a popular product. It cleans **** out. Restore puts **** in. Two very different approaches. One approach happens to be much, much better than the other.
At 60k you should not be noticing much if any loss of compression. Unless your engine has been driven extremely hard or maintained very poorly, either one of which can not be solved out of a can. An exception of course would be sludge and or carbon buildup(carbon buildup can actually be caused from not driving your car hard enough), which on top of many other things can cause your valves not to seat properly thus causing a loss of compression(read sluggish and rough) which can quite certainly be remedied with various methods of introducing the seafoam into your induction and oil system.
