After seeing Charlie G's "shine" work on his exhaust, I used Flitz metal polish on the tailpipe of mine and it came out better looking (IMHO) than the $300 chrome thingy that Porsche sells to dress up the exhaust.

Small amounts of polish applied to a cloth buffing wheel on a Dremel-style tool and some patience was all it took. Shine still looks good, just requires a periodic touch-up due to the exhaust residue in the pipe itself.
