This is something I tried, and i worked pretty good, but I'm sure the "big boys" do it quite differently, including some kind of dip that gives the desired effect.

take several paper towels, folded on the perferations, and lightly mist them with white vinegar. Not enough to wet them, just enough to give them an odor. Lay the towels evenly across the part of the tuba that you what to change. Any parts that you cannot reach with the towel, just rub with you fingers and those parts will catch up in a few days.
