I'm planning on doing a restoration on an original mark2 jaguar any advise would be good
It depends on how bad the chrome is, if it just needs cleaning I start with 0000 steel wool followed up by chrome polish (the wad type) like Eagle One/Never Dull.
If there's rust (again depending on how bad the rust is) I dip the parts in a OA (oxilic acid) bath and follow up again with 0000 steel wool and polish.
For painted parts, after washing with soap and water, I use Meguiar's Ultimate Compound followed by Meguiar's Quick Wax. There are other good brands, this is just what I'm using these days.
Usually when I do this type of restoration, I blow the bike completely apart and clean/polish each part individually.
