I just bunged some of this gt85 wd40 alternative on my strings, it contains teflon ptfe which coats the metal apparently? i wasnt really thinking but have had a few sweaty gigs lately. so what do you think did i foul up here?

I'd get it off. Naphtha can damage your finish....and apparently, your skin:

I sprayed some brand new GHS Boomers with WD 40 back in the day and they instantly killed that set of strings. I would not recommend doing that

Just wipe your plucking fingers down the sides of your nose... Slip for days! :-#
