Correcting Spin on Track

I know the saying "during a spin both feet in" but that's really when you're beyond the point of correction. Leading up to that point, I know letting off throttle will help the rears regain traction (and braking is the last thing one should do to correct the turn) but what should I be doing with my hands?

The one time my back side came loose was at Summit, last turn before leading into the straights. It was a right hander, slight decline, late apex. Back side was sliding a little to the left and I was able to correct it. Instructor complimented me on my ability to regain control but honestly the actions were more intuitive from my auto-x days. If you ask me now I can't tell you exactly which way I turned the wheel and how many degrees, etc. But I would like to know consciously what I should be doing.
