Then I have a bmw m3cs with matte paint (except carbon fiber on hood and entire roof) with matte ppf on matte portion and reg ppf on roof and cf areas and then ceramic coat on entire car. So thinking I’ll do initial pressure wash rinse. Then foam with Adams car shampoo. While that soaks, wash wheels and tires with Adams wheel and tire. Then either rinse off and then Foam again and use multiple mitts to physically wash car with one bucket with grit guard, or use two bucket system. Then rinse down with cr spotless water. Then drying aid for m3 would be Adams matte Detailer and for the trx and Escalade, use some sort of ceramic coat like tec582 ceramic detail spray. Thoughts? I’m just looking to obviously clean the cars as fast as possible, while also maintaining the ceramic coating and matte finish on the bmw and giving some protection to the other two. Thoughts? Also, between full washes, use ONR to spray on cars in garage and wipe off dirt/bugs. Is that ok? Sorry for the multiple questions

Wheels/tires first, then foam/pre-wash the vehicle. You'll eliminate a 'foam' step, save product, and not have foam drip onto you and/or the wheels/tires while you're trying to clean the latter.
Wrt bugs and dirt, depends on type, how much, and how caked/baked on it is. For instance, ONR itself won't loosen some of the more venerable bug jerky. At the same, a good QD will work just as well for spot cleaning of loose and fresher bugs. 'How' you wipe will mitigate marring/scratches.
Also, for in-between full washes, IMHO, if you're going to ONR, just do the whole vehicle. Otherwise, particularly in the black vehicles, you'll see clean patches and dirty patches. At that point, might as well have peft it one way or the other.
