I wouldn't trust the dealer to know. My dealer told me that I needed to buy their paint protection package (I didn't) because the car did NOT have clearcoat.
This is on a Fiji Blue Pearl metallic and yes, it's clearcoated.
The best way to check is as suggested and take a cleaner wax and try it on a relatively hidden surface - under the front or rear splashpans is a good place. Don't try under the hood or trunklid as they usually have lousy paint on them anyway.
