What to do if i got a tetanus shot a month ago, and today was working on my car and dirt and wd40 got into cut. i washed with soap&water and used peroxide after noticing. but it was maybe an hour later?

No tetanus risk: After a month, you are completely protected against tetanus. It sounds like you have correctly managed your wound and nothing more need be done. See a doctor if it doesn't seem to be healing properly after a few days.
