My personal favorite is Lexol Vinyex Spray. This in my humble opinion has it
all. A very strong UV protectant, essential oils, anti-static (helps keep
dust off) and a soft patena finish.

This is from the article you posted.
I 2nd Lexol Vinyex spray.
I bought my first bottle from a high end P. car supplier Automotion. it was
not cheap. perhaps there are other places you can buy it. It does seem to
work and feel much better on interiors than silicone, armor all prod.
