Default Going to basic soon...need some advice

I leave in a month. I need to know what I need to do to store the car for 3 months. It will be garaged, but the garage gets pretty dusty. Besides a car cover, anything else? Disconnect battery? Treat the fuel? Oil? Remove wheels and tires so the tires don't get a flat spot?

Drain fluids, Coolant is a major one don't want any rust in your system, trans fluid would be ok to keep in there as it is sealed, motor oil I would drain, treat the fuel before with fuel stabilizer and after with a couple gallons of Super high octane.

Running an antirust additive would make be alot easier to do then this. Just pour it in and drive the car around till you have to leave. It should be coated pretty well by the time you have to leave and it will give you the piece of mind
