Been sanding bondo wrong for 10 years till a customer pointed it out

I had this old guy bring in a 69 Camaro last month, said he wanted me to help with some bodywork. He watched me sand a patch for like 30 seconds then asked why I was going back and forth in straight lines. I told him thats how I always did it. He showed me to do small circles instead and now my feathering is way smoother. How do you guys lay down your sanding strokes on filler?

Small circles vs straight lines-what grit you starting with on raw bondo?

My buddy tried straight lines with 80 and it gummed up the paper on him @elliot_miller22.
