You should follow the instructions on the bottle, if it state use clockwise on and anti clock off, or visa versa, do it, if not, do it how you like, upwards sideways etc

Autoglyms not a wax M8 but a polish. Get some Swissol the finish will last a lot longer and you'll never have swirl marks ever again

Bunch your fingers, let them go slightly slack.......Rapidly move your hand back and forwards like shaking coffee beans.

For some reason my right wrist is quite a bit stronger, so I tend to use that.
