Default young kids and Lunar Silver nappa leather

I am looking at new S4's and trying to determine which interior color(s) I like. One of my likes is the Lunar Silver Nappa leather. My concerns are how well it stays clean and how easy it is to clean? I have a 2 and 6 year old to defend against.

I currently have a light tan leather interior in my 11 year old VW and haven't really had any issues with that. So I am thinking going a shade lighter to the Lunar silver would not be too different.

Stay away from light colors with kids. With black, you don't see the dirt as easily and if they get scuffed, you can cover it with black shoe polish and have it look good as new.

Before ordering my S4, I had the same concern with the Luna Silver seats. It's been about 3 months now with no problems at all to report despite a lot of people in the car.

The leather is very high quality and doesn't mark up easy. I go over the seat with Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner wipes every few weeks. the few minor scuffs/marks came right off. The seats look and feel great!

I have the black/silver interior along with kids ages 9 and 12. The silver shows dirt once in awhile but it's always wiped right off without leaving any permanent mark. It's an incredible interior, especially with the carbon fiber trim, so I wouldn't let having small kids stop you from ordering it. My wife causes more smudges and dirt than my kids do with her fidgeting and need to touch everything.

We do have a rule of no food or drink (other than water) in the car.
