Does the matte ceramic help guard against that at all?
yeah I wouldn't risk it with the automatic wash, should do hand washes only. The ceramic coat makes it really hydrophobic and easy to clean but any kind of gloss enhancer will likely de-matte the surface regardless. Doesn't have to be done that often either, hand wash every 3rd weekend or something should be fine unless you drive in really bad conditions and have to do it sooner, and keep the dr beasely's matte final finish around for any bird droppings or particularly nasty bugs that hit the paint inbetween washes
