Make dull stem shine

I have a dull unpainted stem which sort of shines.
Can anyone suggest a way of making it shine like a mirror or is this not possible without re-chroming ?

You piss-taking barstools, ya.
Cheapo method - get some Autosol from Halfords (or some Tesco's) and give it a good polish. Won't quite shine like a mirror but might be shiny enough.
Expensive method - take it to a metal finishers and get them to polish it.
