If I am correct then sorry, no amount of GT85 will fix your issue.
In simple terms, the dirt made your stepper work harder to do the same job. Thus it got fried as it got hotter than it should. It was cooked.

If it still cuts out, you need a new stepper. Damage from over-heating of stepper has already been done. If the cut-out you got was within 1 minute of running, you can ignore. You are OK. The stepper needs to synch with the ETM (if you have one) and the ECM. The first cut-out is caused by this synching. Escpecially if you had it sloshing with fluid?! Once synched no cut-outs.

If you have manual transmission, they are far more tolerant of fluids. Less to worry about.

I have never heard of cleaning a cat like that. I will Google this.
