If barely dirty I just rinse with water and ONR like above.
Using the ONR puts a thin coating that's very shiny and dust/pollen doesn't seem to be attracted to it. Seems to be electrically neutral, don't know for sure.
I wash the car every weekend if I can.
If the car was super dirty, I would use a pressure washer on it first, so not to grind dirt into the paint with a wash mitt or sponge. At that point it would be safe to wash with the two bucket method or the ONR, I would think anyway. After watching a few videos on the ONR, I think that will do the trick for doing quick detailings in between the full on detailings (for removing light dust and such)...
Just buy a car cover specifically designed for interior storage and you'll never have to worry about this kind of stuff. OR if not a car cover then "bubble boy" the car.

I've never seen a cover for any vehicle that didn't do more harm than good. The inside of the covers are a dust magnet and they usually end up putting more dust on the vehicle than if no cover is used. Plus putting them on and taking them off can put tiny micro scratches in the paint...
