Washing with a normal Car Shampoo such as Meguairs NXT or Optimum No Rinse would be fine.

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT use a clay bar on it, or take any type of polish (swirl remover, etc) to the car. You will buff down the clear coat that is on it and make it shiny. It is the type and how the clear that is sprayed on the car that contributes to the matte finish.

DipYourCar[dot]com came up with some rubberized towel for cleaning cars in plastidip
You can give that a try

Or you can just get a foam lance and use it with power washer and truly does a "touchless wash" at home
I haven't had experience with Matte finishes but I assume they are much easier to maintain than traditional clear-coated paint from reading some stuff online
