That's because wiping it off will not remove it. You need to use water. The good news is that water will dissipate brake fluid immediately. Soapy water should be used for sure but keep a bottle or pail of plain water handy when working with brake fluid for immediate rinses.
Wiping it off painted surfaces with a rag only will result in removed or severely damaged paint.
