It might seem a silly question, or maybe not

The car is currently in an underground carpark, but there's been a fair bit of building work going on, so there's a lot of dust on it. I won't be able to use water down there (no hose etc) but given that it's bone dry and just fine dust, I'm thinking there's probably a recommended way to get dust off in situations like this?

Drive car out of car park. Wash. Drive car into car park. Place cover on it.

How clean was it before the builders' dust settled?

Yeah I suppose I could do that, was just wondering if there was a suggested cloth or something that would easily wipe it off without scratching etc.

Have a look at this video. Don't know if you can get the product here but the techniques used should be useful for you.

I tend to use Muguiars Wash and Wax for emergency jobs like getting rid of bird poo etc but not on the whole body of the car. Think it would do the job though if you use enough of it to lubricate the car entirely together with plush microfibre cloths. I'll do this in small sections and lift gently. Plenty of other useful videos on YouTube like the Chemical Guys. Hope thats useful.
