Use a specialized cleaner to clean around the burned area, then wipe off any residual liquid with a towel after cleaning; Next, apply a strong film remover in a circular motion on the cleaned area, wipe it clean, then remove any residual liquid and let it dry in a cool place; Use a scraper tool to evenly apply leather repair paste or dab it onto the damaged leather surface. Once completely dry, sand it smooth with fine sandpaper.
When encountering the issue of a cigarette burn on the seat, the first step is to identify whether the seat material is leather or fabric. For leather seats, I've dealt with this several times myself. The method is to first use a mild cleaner to remove the ash and stains, then apply a specialized leather repair paste to fill in the burn mark. After letting it dry, polish it smooth with a soft cloth. For deep burns where the repair paste doesn't work, it's best to seek professional heat welding repair at a specialized shop to avoid making things worse. For fabric seats, after cleaning, use a burn repair kit to fill small holes, similar to mending clothes. Remember, regular seat maintenance can prevent aging, and smoking in the car is not a good habit. Quitting smoking or keeping an ashtray handy can save a lot of trouble. I also recommend checking the interior cleanliness monthly to prevent similar accidents.
