Another option if you have a cordless drill available is to use a polishing ball like Mother's Power Ball. It takes all the effort out of it and can get results much quicker than you can manage by hand in my experience.

Kudos to all the over-achievers. But dayum, we're talking about the "inside" of an exhaust here. And everyone wants to whip out the polish and a spare weekend of elbow grease. I remember when I was 20 with my first 280zx. I kept a full car wash and detail kit in the car, in case I hit a bug I was immediately in a car wash. But at 45 now, a shiny brushed look "inside" an exhaust suits me just fine.
