Either being careful not to get any on the wood, or removing the bands, use a little lacquer thinner on a paper towel to wipe it off.
Do this ONLY if the bands are blued, NOT painted, because the lacquer thinner will strip paint almost instantly.
If they're painted, just lightly dampen a paper towel with cheap paint thinner and wipe gently and quickly, or try a liquid cleaner like whatever you have in your kitchen.
