Default RESTORE..... should I use it?

I own a 1996 (4.6L) Ford Mustang GT with 97,000 miles. Bought this car two months ago. Engine is running good and strong, no oil comsuption, no smoke. A friend recommended to use RESTORE to clean the engine since I don't know what the engine has been through. Acccording to my friend, RESTORE will remove deposit and seal small inperfections in the cylinder in order to gain PSI. Should I use it? What do you think?

Those are temporary fixes. Do a compression test as it sits now and get a better understanding of the condition the car is in.

No point in using it if the compression is good.
