Matte Paint with full PPF and ceramic coating...what should I use?

So just purchased an M3CS and it has the frozen white paint. It has been fully covered with ppf and ceramic coating. Here's the details on that:
Suntek Matte PPF
ceramic coating:
Nanolex SI3D Cerabide on the ppf
Nanolex ultra glass on the glass
Nanolex Si3D Rims on the Rims

What car wash soap would you recommend? I know there are open seams where the paint is touched when I wash it...but barely though.

I contacted the shop where the ppf/ceramic was put on and they recommended: Nanolex Pure Shampoo, nanolex wheel cleaner and iron remover, and Detailer's Domain Front Line Ready.
I always leery of companies recommending products they sell...and there's not a ton of info out on these products.

Can anyone recommend good products for my car? I've never had a matte finish vehicle. Typically I use adams car wash (foam is and mit two bucket) first. Then felgenreiniger for the wheels. Leaf blower and then wipe down with bead maker.
Is there a better system for preserving the matte paint/matte ppf and ceramic coating?

Thanks everyone!

Dr. Beasley's is the best for Matte/Frozen/Satin finishes. They have a whole suite of products just for matte with a lot of videos n stuff.

Wouldn't you consider that they carry & recommend products that they feel do the best job in their experience?

I also have suntech matte ppf. I’ve been using this Rinseless wash. I did try out dr Beasley, and it’s good, but it’s a little pricey.

The onr says “ slick and glossy” but it does not make the matte finish glossy. It was recommended to me by the detailer I used to coat my car. It has worked great, and I’ve begun to prefer doing the rinseless wash
