To my mind if you re-arrange the way in which you tell the story you can kind of see what is most likely the problem.
I'm actually impressed the quick fix additive has lasted this long - if at all (!) - I guess you've got head gasket problems again.

...except, that is not what happened! The shaking started a few months BEFORE the overheating.
Timeline:
June 2016, bought car
Oct 2016, licensed car and put on the road
Late 2017 or early 2018 car began shaking at idle
June 2018, car overheated
August 2018, did gasket sealer
only short test drives since
After the overheating incident, I decided to try the head gasket sealer, since I didn't have much to lose. I've not driven the car hardly at all since the sealer.
