Default Tricks for refurbishing door latches & hinges?

I'm getting ready to hang the doors back on the '66, but first I'd like to clean up the door latch mechanisms and the hinges. The hinges are cast aluminum, and have thick paint on them. The latches are just generally crusty looking. All were working fine without issue before disassembly, so I was planning to reuse them.

Media blasting doesn't seem appropriate with these items. Do you guys have any ideas for the best way to clean them up? Perhaps a chemical dip of some kind?
