polishing the stock exhaust muffler

Does anybody have any good polishing methods for the stock exhaust muffler. It would be nice to get it looking like chrome...! The tips and the whole underside are turning brownish..

Brasso does work quite well. That's what I use now.

Use the showmans blend. No equal to it and it works very quick. Just apply on a microfiber towel and hand buff.
