that's actually a pretty cool idea...less the look of it. We are constantly yelling at my 3 year old, she loves to kick the passenger front seatback with her dirt encrusted shoes. Nothing I can't clean with water and then leather cleaner to restore the rich black look. But I could see her cutting into the leather some way, some how.. she manages to destroy just about everything she touches.
She tried washing the CX-9 yesterday with the underside of a spare bike seat (metal supports). Luckily buffing comound and paste wax removed most of the scratches in the clear, but some would not come out. Kids.
