Default Full Red Interior

This question goes out to all those with the full red interiors. What products do you use to make your red look it's best? I'm talking about everything from the carpeting to the dash. I'm looking to get a deep rich red color without to much greasy residue. I've tried a few products that were recommended on this forum but it still feels as if it could look better.

I don't have the full red interior, but I do have the red/black interior. So, I have some experience with red. I guess about half as much as those with full red interiors. Anyway, I like to use Meguiars Interior Quick detailer for plastics and Imperial or Lexol leather cleaners & conditioners. I don't really ever clean the carpet except for with a vacuum. I don't allow eating or drinking in my car so vacuuming is usually enough.

I use Turtle Wax Premium Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. It smells AMAZING and goes on like butter. It works right into the leather with a cotton towel. When you think your seats were clean, your towel turns dark gray/brown. It leaves it with a rich color, shiney appearance, but no slimy residue left behind.
For my dashboard I use a special cleaner (no idea what it is) from my friend's work at a dealership. It's awesome, too.

Wyatt, if you think the seats are clean, they might just be, we have not tested this product yet, but make sure that it is not stripping off any of the top coat from the leather. The shiny appearance afterward along with pulling of the greyish color concerns me, I will look into this and get back to you.
