Anyone know how to disguise cigarette burns on car upholstery?

As title really!

My husband, father in law, and mother in law have accumulated cigarette burns from passengers in their cars.
Other than a seat cover...how can they be disguised/repaired?

Same question as earlier post if anyone has any ideas , i think the vehicle i have had some repairs to burns but the holes have reappeared
so originall repair was not done well.

Had one repaired years ago by a specialist company but hubby got a better result when he did his own repair by stitching with a matching thread.

i'm sure a friend once bought something from Halfords ( some years ago) that was to fix damage to velour type seats, it was a kit with some fabric glue and a little pot which contains basically just fibres, but you bought it in different shades of grey to match.

i think you just applied the glue and sprinkled on the fibres, obviously this would only work on melted fabric burns rather than complete burn holes

if its complete holes then you could try buying a curved needle and some matching thread and go round the hole rather as if you were making a starburst pattern untill the hole is completely filled in. fasten off the thread by making a back stitch a tiny way from the last stitch, pass the needle completely under the hole and pull out and pull taut. then snip the thread as close to the repair as you can. it should disappear! its not invisible - but its better than a hole!
