Seat Burn

Agh, I know I shouldn't smoke in the Maxima but I was in a hurry and guess what, now I have a small seat burn. Anybody have any ideas on how to make it look better?

Cloth or leather?

Either have it professionally done or as a stop gap, look under the seats for a loose 'fringe' of spare fabric. You can 'shave'/'grate' it into some kind of powdery/linty consistency and sprinkle it over a dot of adhesive in the cleaned out burn hole. This is not by any chance a perfect fix, but it will at least help cover the burn mark with a color that matches the interior fabrics.

CHeck upholstery repair in the phone book. I have not had it done myself (in other vehicles) by anyone to recommend.

Maybe it's a good time to opt for leatherseat.

that will work, but the seat will look either imperfect or repaired...

best way to go (most expensive) is to replace seat cover (no need for whole seat, just either bottom part or back part-whichever is burnt)

Try touch up paint that matches your interior, it worked great for a buddy of mine.

Yes. I couldnt tell unless I really looked. Cheap alternative as opposed to buying seat covers or all new seats.
