Right now, you risk contaminating the paint with brake dust residue (IE metal shavings) if you wash wheels/exhaust second.

To each their own! One of the beauties of detailing is that is highly personal and we all do what we feel gets best results.
For example, when I do a rinseless wash, I do the wheels and tires last to save product and avoid contaminating my wash water. I never get any spray on the paint from using a rinseless wash nor have the 100s I have taught to do the same thing. However we are all different and tweaking ideas and thoughts to arrive at the best results is part of the fun of going in the garage and doing it! Thanks for your suggestions!
