Wet Sand or Polish it with a real heavy compound on the rotary buffer.

My suggestion to keep the matte finish would be to just wash it with what ever car wash you use to wash the car. To protect it, since it is paint and you just don't want it to shine, I'd try a test spot and use a quick detailer or a spray sealer and see if that keeps the matte finish.

You might also check in with one of the vintage or muscle car forums and see what other owners do. My 70 Mach 1 Stripe on the hood is gloss black and clear coated. So I am no help with proven methods,
