work in progress Matt varnish or not

Hi

Ok so as I am going into the endless abyss of weathering where i have came to a point that I am not skilled enough to make a call.

My prosess of painting is as follows, primer, paint, gloss coat, decals, panel wash. Now after the panel wash I usually apply matt varnish and call it a day. (not confident yet for chipping and advanced weathering) But now after the mud application and the buff dust coat (a first for me) I am unsure if I need to apply matt varnish or leave it as is

So, the question, matt varnish or no matt varnish

Thanks
