There's a lot of ways and products to wax a car. The secret is to start with very clean surface with a minimum of surface crap on it.

Use the 2 bucket wash method (less contamination from washcloth ).Use car wash soap only.
Clay bar the surface,with lubricant.
Wash car again.
Dry completely with micro towel.( I use a leaf blower)
Use a very light car polish. (not wax)
Use a sealer (polymer)
Wax with a pure carnauba wax.

This will give you a glowing finish.

I've done all of the above with excellent results.

I'm 69 yo and I just 2 bucket wash and use Nu-finish because it's easier. The look is not as good , but anything over 20mph nobody can tell the difference.

I see you ride a motorcycle so a manual transmission should be no big deal. Be gentle on the clutch and you'll be fine.
