Enamel, Urethane, Base Coat/ Clearcoat, Lacquer??
Lacquer is the only type of paint I have seen that loses it's gloss over time. Since you said he wet sanded it and buffed it, I'd assume he used a basecoat/clearcoat system. That system, if mixed properly, should never lose it's shine....at least for many years, not nine months.
Be careful about taking it to a different shop. Some people don't like fixing other peoples mistakes. But I guess if you have cash, some would gladly take your money for a few hours of work. Don't expect them to perform miracles, as they didn't lay the foundation.
