for the paint use 3ms perfect it 2 rubbing compound followed by(3m again) perfect it glaze followed by a cleaner wax....youll be amazed at what the paint will look like afterwards...
for chrome im easy...#000-0000 steel wool and water or a brass brush
good luck and nice score!
 
I like to soak chrome in a watered down CLR bath for about 24 hrs. Totally non-abrasive and the rust basically falls off. 8)
