Default What Is A "paint Restorer"?!

Hi, I am planning to do my first hand clay/wax/paint care job!
I bought some new stuff and found some old stuff my dad uses.

One of them is a Diamond-Kote GOLD brand "Paint Restorer"
What exactly is this and what does it do?
I can't find anything about it on Google or their manufacturer website, it's probably a discontinued product.

On the label it says:
"This product is to be used to restore automotive paint finishes. Fortified with D-K 539 UV Sunscreen. With new improved surface adhesion agent."

^ I guess this is obvious what it does, but my main concern is when should I apply it (before or after clay? before or after Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax?)

Here is a picture to show what the product looks like:

It looks to be a mild polish or cleaner wax. Clay first, then apply this product, then wax.

I use the Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax...is it just gona clean off the paint restorer if I use the cleaner wax after?

If you use that paint restorer product you were inquiring about, you should use just a wax afterward. Mother's Cleaner Wax won't be necessary.
