I use a spray adhesive that can not be bought in stores. I get it through my distributor. If it's something that's going to be in a higher heat application and or the material has to be mega-stretched into a concave contour, then I use a 3M contact adhesive that has to be applied from a spray gun. It also depends on the type of material. If I am wrapping a fiberglass enclosure with carpet then I can use the standard spray adhesive regardless of the temperatures it may see. If's vinyl then I use the contact no matter what. The different glues will also tack up differently depending on the temperature in my garage. Summer is fast and winter is slow. For what it's worth, I do not like store bought 3M spray adhesive, but if that's all you can get, it should work just fine.
The padding I just get from a distributor or a local fabric store.
I recommend practicing on a piece of cardboard first. Just cut some small pieces of material and foam and see how they react together once you glue them together. If you are wrapping a piece that the backside will be hidden and the front doesn't have any concave areas, then you may not need glue at all..... like the armrest for example.
