There is only one company I would use and alot if not most here would agree with me. ADAMS. There stuff is the best stuff I have used and I have used alot of different detailing produsts. We also have an Adams rep that is a member here that will be able to give more info than I can.

That reminds me I still need to make my order.

First and foremost, I for one, would NEVER talk to a man wearing spandex!

As for the chrome, it really depends on what condition it is in. If it is good shape, it should clean up real nice with just regular car wash soap. If it has a lot of dirt and grime build up you can clay a lot of that stuff off and then use Adams metal polishes, #1 followed by #2. I would put a couple of coats of Nxt or Nu-Finish or something similar for protection. Top coat with Butter wax if you want to get a real nice shine.

What kind of leather are you looking to treat and what condition is it in? I have used Adams leather cleaner on the seats in the Wife's Mustang. It does a good job, but they are still pretty new. The seats in my King Ranch are a different kind of leather. They are more like saddle leather. On those seats I use Obenauf's White Jaguar leather cleaner and Obenauf LP leather conditioner.
