I would use a product called "Simichrome" it's a cream that I used to use in the jewelry business. Took it home tried it on my open pore aluminum rims worked excellent now I use it on all non clear coated metal and chrome. 
I've seen it at Restoration Hardware.

DON"T use a scrubber! I would clean it first with a sponge and soap. Then apply the cream with a soft cloth. Work it in gently, flip the cloth and buff. Depending on how bad the buildup is on the pipe you may need to repeat this.
This is available online but who wants to wait.
Give a call see if they have it(hopefully it's close to you):

I use Eagle One Never Dull to shine chrome stuffs. You can get them at Pep-boys or any auto shop for around $4. Cheap and effective.

THIS IS THE ANSWER<
nothing else will work as well for the $$ 
Bar Keepers Friend. I use this on my cherished All-clad pots and pans (They are stainless steel), polished on the outside. Its like the orginal powder Comet.
Mix a little water with the powder, rub it on the tips with a towel, rub rub eub...rinse with water. VOILA! I just did it 5 min ago
You can find it at any grocery store. $3 perfect solution.
