It's a bit hard to hand wash the car in the winter when your car is covered in salt... And does salt "damage" the matte?
It's not advised to take any PPF through an auto wash, let alone stealth.

You should be cleaning off any contaminants as soon as practically possible from the exterior to prevent things eating away at coatings or the material in general.

This honestly should apply to any car regardless of PPF or not. Automatic car washes in general cause a lot of clear-coat damage and swirls and are just inadvisable to use.

As mentioned, a pH neutral shampoo like Adam's, Chemical Guys, or CarPro Reset are good options.
