That video is exactly what you shouldn't do if you care about your car. While it does show that cutting dead paint off will reveal a shiny finish beneath it, I personally wouldn't do as he does as its a real half-assed job.
If you care about the car and its paint, look no further than:

(assuming its single stage)
Take a white rag/cloth and wd40 as already suggested or some sort of liquid and rub the car with it in a tiny area. If the cloth is blue afterward then you have single stage. Simple as that.
