Cleaned my throttle body...I know....question

Hey everyone, so over the past week I have had my car ripped apart in the garage installing an fp evogreen and various other things. All in the hope that I can take it to Ivey tune by at least next Friday, have injectors and a ebc installed, and have him tune it.

Long story short, I cleaned the throttle body because it was sticking severely and now I can see a very clear ring of light around the entire throttle plate even though I was careful.

So it's the weekend and ordering something online is kind of out of the question. I found a place in the next town over that sells this: https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0608580?term=Moly&r=~%7Ccategoryl1:%22601680%20Che micals%209and%20Paints%22%7C~%20~%7Ccategoryl2:%22 601731%20Lubricants,%20Penetrants,%20and%20Corrosi on%20Inhibitors%22%7C~%20~%7Ccategoryl3:%22601733% 20Dry%20Lubricants%22%7C~

While I am not to knowledgable in this subject I noticed all of the other threads used a moly type of dry lubricant. I would just order the exact stuff they used on other threads, but as I said I really want to get this done Monday so I can make my appointment. Just want to know if any of you guys have any knowledge on this and if you think this would work fine. Thank you! -Brian
