French Polish is the name given to the technique of applying shellac by hand by rubbing hundreds of micro-thin layers on using a pad lubricated with oil.

French Polish is very thin compared to lacquer. This makes it less likely to effect the acoustic performance of an instrument. French Polish is especially suited to classical guitars where sound performance is preferred over durability.
