I don't really want to argue this as I don't have an +RW machine, but
according to many sources +RW do not need to be finalised at all

"No finalization for DVD+RW: no waiting time, the disc is always
immediately compatible"

No formatting or finalizing required With DVD+RW its not necessary to
carry out time-consuming formatting before recording, or waste time
finalizing afterwards. A DVD+R disc takes one minute to finalize (only
necessary when playing on other DVD players.
