Sounds like you have your work cut out for ya.  I have been doing this for a long time and this is what I use.  There is nothing easy about it but this give me better results than anything else I have used and is easier, however there is nothing easy about cleaning cymbals.

For the drums - ZYMOL, liquid car wax. Kind of expensive!
Chrome - Turtle Wax Chrome Cleaner.
Cymbals - SHINE-ON or Buckaroo.  They have changed the name from one to the other.  In most music stores. Non-abrasive and shines pretty good.

Good luck my friend.
