How to Repair Car Interior Damaged by Cigarette Burns?
2 Answers
You need to go to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair and beauty shop to have it operated by professional technicians. Use some decorative stickers to cover it. First, cut off the burned area with scissors, clean the blackened area with a small toothbrush, and then stick the sticker. Purchase a touch-up pen of the same color as the car roof for repair.
Last time I accidentally dropped a cigarette butt on the car door trim, burning a small hole - it really broke my heart. First, I gently sanded the burned edges with fine sandpaper to smooth out the charred hard parts. Then, I used interior repair paste to fill the dent bit by bit. After waiting half an hour for it to dry, I applied leather dye for color matching, and finally sprayed a layer of protective coating. The whole repair took over three hours. The result was decent but the color difference was still somewhat noticeable. Had I known it would be this troublesome, I should've prepared a car ashtray. Fellow smokers, remember not to flick cigarette butts carelessly - repairing burned interior is mentally exhausting, labor-intensive, and costly.
