I don't know enough about conventional oils with ester additives to take a stand one way or the other though. (Here we go with a whole new can of worms! lol )
My paint looks like a gray pane of well polished glass -- no texture or color variations to be found. So yes, I believe it to be of high quality. If paint softness is what you're talking about, I have yet to find any car that effectively avoids rock chips. Every car in my past that put primarily a painted surface forward looked like it had been sandblasted after a year or so.

For the Z, I opted for a clear bra to protect my high quality paint job. It seems to be working.
