AF,
If it is really ARP lube, it should come off with soap and water. Thats all I use to wash it off my hands. Simple Green, Fantastic etc should all wash it right off.

I would be real careful using brake cleaner on gel coat . . . the stuff we use at the shop is pretty strong and I would be afraid of it causing damage.
