Unhappy Can Wrong Cleaner Hurt Paint?

New to these forums and not sure where to post. Sorry if this is the wrong place. I was claying my wife's car today (my first time using clay). I use Mother's products, all in the red bottles. Because I'm a dummy, I accidentally grabbed the bottle of Mother's wheel and tire cleaner to use as a lubricant. I used it to clay the entire car, not realizing my mistake until near finishing. Fearing catastrophe, I immediately washed the car again and rinsed it twice, followed by a go-around of spray detailer, before waxing it. Should I be worried. Will this cleaner damage my paint? Thanks for the input!

*EDIT: It seems the trickle of clay/"lubricant" on to my windshield and side windows may have damaged the glass. There is some discoloring/marking. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow, but I'm too ****ed off and it's raining now. If anyone knows how to get the marks out, please let me know.
