Wow, supernice! Rubbing out is the way to go to get a smooth "depthy" finish.

As to overspray on sides you're not working on, that's what I do: masking tape pieces of newspaper on all sides not being sprayed. I used to use shellac, too, but now am using Deft Sanding Sealer which also dries really fast and is completely compatible with the Deft lacquer. I use a couple of coats between the grain filler and the top lacquer coats. Shellac can go bad on you in the can and make a mess (had that happen and had to sand it all off) but the sanding sealer seems to last forever in the spray can. If you buy fresh shellac a couple of times a year it will probably be OK. Made out of bug exudings! Yummo!

Reece, I disagree with you on what shelac is made out of.
However, I also must state that while I like shelac myself, and, your cabinet does look beutiful, I do know that the correct finnish would have been lacquer.
Just a note here.

Reece is correct. Shellac comes from a bug that lives in forests in India and Thailand. The secretions are processed into dry flakes and then mixed with denatured alcohol to make liquid shellac.
