Contrary to common belief, Tenifer is not the black finish. Tenifer is a substance that is impregnated into the metal itself to make it much harder and more resistant to corrosion. In as much as one can trust Wikipedia, here is the description.

The black is just a phosphate finish. I wonder what they use to clean them with. I've heard diesel fuel is common.

Tenifer is not on the metal, it's in the metal.

Note how theres no rust what so ever. . .

Glock will refinish any pistol for $50.
