Question Mazda CX-5: birthday present for my sister?

Hi All,

My sister's birthday is tomorrow and she just got a 2021 Mazda CX-5. She loves it but is having trouble keeping it clean; her beagle, Bonnie, sheds like crazy. She has a vacuum so I am looking at interior cleaning/protectant products.

One thing I noticed while driving it was that the interior trim panels scuff very easily. Any ways to remedy this? The seats are like ours; suede and leather.

Thank you; hopefully some CX-5 owners out here in the ether!

3M Scotchgard all the interior fabrics. It'll help boost stain resistance.

Perfect. Could this help the hairs from embedding in the fabric? The carpeted areas have been the most problematic

You could always get her something like this. My parents used all kinds of products to keep my moms car clean from the dog. This was the best option. Just remove and vacuum/wash as needed.

Nope. Hair will get into fabrics. Best thing I can suggest is a dog hammock/cover for the back seats. My fiance uses one and it keeps the seats in much better shape, plus it gives them more room to move as they can't fall into the footwell.
