Any idea if Dr. B Matte Final Finish is worth spraying to boost the ceramic coat or just use AdvanceCoat Matte? How often?

My matte routine over the last 22 months with my frozen white G80;
I have only used Final Finish maybe once a month. I don’t think it boosts the ceramic, but definitely adds a nice layer to protect for a bit (the wash the follows is always easier).
I used the AdvanceCoat Matte maybe twice a year. I did apply the ceramic Pro kit though, and it’s kept it looking fabulous, and of course very easy to clean.
As for the differences between the standard ceramic and Pro kit… they are both great, but the Pro is noticeably better at beading water and longevity. I did the standard matte coating once I purchased the car, and about 2 months in I decided to give the Pro a go. Expensive but well worth it. It’s a 10h rating, one of the hardest ratings of any ceramic (explains the price), and it has definitely protected the finish from the elements.
