I couldn't disagree more ^

Not every car has it actually

The paint on my last Audi was among the flattest I have ever seen on a new car and it was nothing special - just a B7 A4 Avant. Some of the higher end models also have fantastic paint (BMW 6 and 7 series and Mercedes S class come to mind). Same with Porsche. Even the paint on my current daily driver is very flat, and it too was not a particularly expensive car

Wetsanding is very, very labor intensive, but it's what many cars need, even from brand new, to bring the most out of the paint. We painted my entire 350Z here at the shop a couple years ago. We spent around 30 hours wetsanding it afterwards, to ensure it was perfect. Look up detailers in your area, I'd bet you'll find that the ones truly worth using will be happy to go through the process for you, and the paint will look amazing as a result
