So, for all you people who know more than me about this stuff, here are some questions. First, I have a couple of cigarette burns in the back seat of 02 Nissan Altima. One is a straight up hole, through the fabric, and the other is one that's less deep, so it hasn't broken through. I need a kit or easy method of fixing them. Anyone have any suggestions. Second, I have a ton of scratches all around my car. I don't really have the mechanical experience or ability to buff them out. Would anyone suggest touch up paint? How much would it cost for me to bring it to a shop and just ask them to fix all the scratches? Thanks, Amped |

Did you do this to your car or did you buy it that way? | ||

are u selling the car? because if u are just pay like 150 and u will get ur car detailed and u car will be like brand new and u wont see scratches. about the holes, that is what my friend did, he took a piece of cloth behind the seat where is not visible, and just glued it where the hole is. and it looked pretty fucking good. |

Buff them... you just need a big poof attachment and an electric drill. lol As for the burns, buy new upholstry. Katskinz has some sweet ass ones. If you dont want to buff those scratches you can get your car detailed to get rid of them as Ruskiy said. | ||

The car's a hand-me-down. Was bought new, my dad scratched it up, then my sister scratched it up. Detailing will fix scratches? |

Yes detailing will fix scratches. Getting your car detailed is like the lowest cost, highest result activity you can do. If you're selling it, get a tune-up, inspection, oil change and detailed. (<$500) and then sell it as if it were in great condition. (10%-20% increase of the cars value) Obviously it's only worth doing on cars worth $5k or more. Otherwise it won't increase the value enough to warrant the $500 investment. Just sell it as is. |

I'm not selling it. I'm stuck with it for another four years, and I need it to not look like shit. | ||
