It's a finish technique for shellac that uses a pad instead of a brush. You get a high gloss with a very thin finish and no brush marks or uneven spray.

Wood Magazine has a very good video on the technique. Stew Mac also has information. Both show the same thing.

The only difference is Stew Mac did a level sanding. If it is done correctly level sanding is not needed.
