Just like b&d said. The whole "mechanic in a can" or "engine overhaul in a can" is just so much snake oil. I suggest first that you verify what the problem REALLY is before jumping on the snake oil bandwagon. Check compression. Check glow plugs and associated circuitry. Check fuel pressure.
Diagnosis is by far the LEAST expensive way to solve/repair a problem.
Keep in mind that a diesel is strictly a compression ignition engine. If it is only hard starting but runs OK once started, compression is NOT your problem. If compression is so low as to prevent starting, there is NOTHING in a can that will fix it. Warming the intake air and the air in the combustion area should help to start it.
BTW, if the engine has glow plugs, NEVER USE ETHER OR ANY KIND OF STARTING FLUID. Increased combustion pressures will turn glow plugs into the equivalent of high powered rifle projectiles.
