Default Fuel/oil spraying on plane (noob)

Hello All!

I received a Hangar 9 Arrow from my wife for Christmas. Yes, she is a great wife. I have been flying electrics of all sizes and types for over 4 years and this is my first gas plane.

A gassed up the plane up with 15% fuel and ran a full tank of gas through it in my back yard (holding onto it) at varying speeds, mostly full throttle. when I was finished the starboard side of the plane, wing and tail was covered with a substantial film of fuel/oil. My question is, is this normal? If so, what should I clean the plane up with?

Plane specs are here:

Thanks in advance!
