Unless the EGR can be removed from the vehicle, don't bother
All those sprays are pretty much snake oil.

And removal means draining the coolant, as the EGR is water cooled
And once removed, a good inspection is required and replacement may be needed if the EGR cannot be brought to a freely moving state.
