I've seen some impressive pictures of black cars here on this forum, but after inspecting my brand new car, it seems as if my paint isn't as reflective/mirror like than everyone else's. The entire car's paint reflects the texture of an orange peel. Can this be buffed out, or is the only solution a new paint job? My dealer still has not detailed my car from when I took delivery of the car, so would this fix it?

I believe the orange peel can be removed by "wet sanding," but it leaves a very thin layer of clear coat and should be professionally done.
