 How bad is your damage? Jul 25, 2008
By Jazzy
"C"
That's what you need to ask yourself before buying this kit. If the damage is only to a very small area then you might be able to help yourself out with this. You get everything you need in the kit. The pots of different colored fabric...shavings??..are interesting. You also get the glue (2 of those), a small piece of canvas backing, a little mesh screen and a little plastic mixer/applicator that looks like those plastic tabs that keep men's collars from curling up on the edges.
The piece of canvas is about 3"x3" (as is the mesh) and you will probably have to use it if you are trying to repair a hole or burn. You trim it to a size just a bit smaller than the hole you are patching. Tuck it in underneath the edges. Then you are ready for the fun part.
Before you try you interior you want to practice. And practice. The fabric-to-glue ratio is very tricky. And at the end of the day you still might end up with an area that looks like you spilled a glob of glue on your car.
Which is why I say, take a look at your damage and if you are really needed a repair, go to a professional. If a small glob of glue somewhere in your car doesn't bother you (hey, at least it's not a hole) then go for it.

cloth seat repair seat Dec 01, 2009
By Mark Akers
I used this product before but ran out and had to repurchase. Hard to find at retail and was happy to locate online. This is a great product and works perfect for cigarette burns in automobile seats or carpet.

 Saved Me!!! Oct 22, 2010
By M. Hughey
"Otter50"
Just got done using the Permatex Fabric repair kit. I was driving my wifes car and flipped a cig out the window. The wind cought it and blew it back into the car. It landed behind my back. Don't ask me how, but it did. It burnt 2 spots in the upper back of the seat. Now this car is my wifes baby. It's a 1996 mercury tracer trio with only 60k miles on it. The outside looks like crap, but the inside is really nice. Well anyway, I knew she was going to be really mad at me so I told her over the phone what happened and I was right, she was really pis s ed. So I got online and found this product. I didn't have time to order it so I went to our local AutoZone and they had the exact thing for the same price as here. I got home opened the package, read the instructions, applied as directed and it worked perfect. When she got home for lunch she went to look at the damage, but to her surprise it was gone and I was out of the dog house. So for me, it was a life saver!!! It's not really that hard at all. I did the whole repair in about 15 mintues. I don't think it would work very well on a big spot though. It might, but it would take much more time and work, but for cig burns that aren't very big it's great.

Easy to use and favorable end result, too! Apr 13, 2011
By Michelle Emens
This product was something about which I was hesitant before I used it. However, it really does everything it claims to do and is quick and easy to use. If there is any aspect of this product that is challenging, it is that it is the responsibility of the user to mix the perfect shade that will match your upholstery fabric. Granted, if your fabric is white or black, etc., then you have it easy. Mine is grey and I used the handy mixing chart, included in the purchase of the product. It looks pretty good...a far cry better than it did before I used the product. However, be sure that you are happy with your color match before you apply the color portion of this product. Otherwise, I am well pleased and find it to be a good purchase.
