The OP said chrome, aluminum, and rubber seals..so as a few agreed, paint thinner...then chrome/aluminum polish. The thinner won't scratch the chrome..but go light on the rubber.

LOL - It keeps me entertained - and also why I don't often ask for advice - like - ideas on how to change a radio station - can result in recommendations ranging from using visegrips on the radio knobs to replacing my differential.

I for one would like to recommend to start with 40 grit, then followed by 80, then moving upwards till you get to 1000 grit.
On the rubber - you may just want to spray paint it black.
Or - you could use painters tape first, some mild paint solvent, with small soft rags so as not to get any on the paint, an occasional toothbrush for a little added effect, possibly even a well used small #00 steel wool pad with a little solvent on it for the most stubborn spots
Heck - even ask the guy who painted the car what he might recommend.

Ferrari shop uses windex and steel wool. No pressure on the wool. Also works wonders on tail pipes.

Precisely.

I meant to type more "0's"
Point being - fine as you have or can find at Home Despot or wherever

I even like used pieces - less abrasive

Acetone with scent = Finger nail polish remover
And true - alot of detail shops use Acetone to remove stubborn tar and bug blemishes, but I would definitely go easy on reaching for the acetone - and work quickly.
And while they claim it is safe for clear coat, 2 part paints - Even though it evaporates quickly, don't let it soak in to paint.
Definitely be careful with either Acetone or especially Lacquer thinner.
They can surprise you in a hurry
Try milder solutions first.
