trommelpolieren
Explanation:
you're right; see also LEO trommelpolieren=barrel finishing; it's performed by putting the parts (I know it of aluminium (die-)cast parts) in a barrel together with (artificial) stones and fluid/water and rotating the lot; it smoothens the surface and gives it a semi-matte finish
