Aluminum Reskinning

I am a Corvette person. I have seen the results of aluminum reskinning whereby aluminum valve covers, fuel injection aluminum parts, etc. go this process and look brand new. I have that this process involves tumbling or vibrating in a solution that possibly includes glass or plastic beads. Can anyone tell me about the aluminum reskinning process. How is it done? What are the ingredients?

Thanks
