hydraulic oil on fiberglas gel coat

Question

A builder erected a fence and drove the posts into the ground with a tool that uses hydraulic oil. The oil sprayed all over the gel coat on my boat. Any ideas how to remove it? Boat soap does nothing, softscrub with bleach barely touches it. I do have pictures but cannot get them to post. Tried rubbing compound but there are faint marks left.

Try Acetone.

Is pour n restore a liquid? The cabin has bulkheads that are saturated with the oil. The walk-around deck and gunnels are covered as well.

Yes it is a thick liquid!
