Default Polishing stainless steel exhaust - best way ?

As per title - just wondered what products I need and how hardcore i need to get with it to get a decent shine into it if that is actually even possible.

The exhaust in not new - has been on the car for a while and it would be great to get something close to a mirror shine into it but i guess that is asking a bit much.

only if you put a polishing pad on the sander and not sandpaper.. give it a rerally good wash with some TFR then get the polisher/mop out use g3 followed by auto-sol but dont expect instant resualts will take hours if it tarnished
