I agree with the Joekidds post about the battery as two months is too long between charges. It shortens the over all life of a battery especially if it has some age on it.
I would rotate it with another car if possible every couple weeks. Or get it completely charged up, out of the car and add on a battery maintainer. One that has float charging capabilities or just a plain float charger as they are very cheap on sale. So far, I like Harbor Freight ones that do one or multiple batteries.
Maintaining voltage at the upper end of its natural output equilibrium keeps the ions of the acid from absorbing into the plates as it will normal discharge from its own internal conductance/resistance properties. This slows down sulphuric reactions.
Tires are not a big problem indoors on concrete and out of sunlight. The best thing is off the ground on stands or stacked horizontally since you do not plan to even run the engine.
Run the engine to put the stabilizer (mostly naphtha) up to the front, past the volume in the main filter.
To leave them aired or not, I do not know. Some have them filled with dried nitrogen. I can't call that one as that might be overkill and air is 80% nitrogen anyway!
Over soil or grasses moisture comes up from the ground to collect under the frames, floorboards and onto engine areas.
The reason I bring this up is some people have what is called pole barns. Others are floors less sheds varieties made of metal, wood or canvas tents and say they were garaged?
Washing the vehicle is a nice touch but in six months it will be dusty and have fly speckles!
If you cover it with soft cloth and then plastic sheeting you will be happier!
Especially, if you are still using the garage something else the car will invariably have things laid on its flat surfaces out of convenience of the moment.
Unless your one of those freaky OCD people with absolutely no garage clutter or its an alphabetized, and categorized deep pile like mine! Yeah right? (:-)
