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.

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.

The general consensus for this product is four stars and I agree. I expected a "four star repair." I knew that no matter what I did that it would not be perfect. With that said, here is the review of my product.

This kit comes with small containers filled with colored fabric fibers, fabric glue, and a mixing ball. Also present are a filter screen, cloth backing(for larger holes only), glue application stick, and color matching guide*.

***INSTRUCTIONS

Using the color guide and the end of the clean application stick(i.e. no glue), add small amounts of the colored fibers, according to the color guide, to the mixing ball container and mix. If you find that you followed the guide and the color does not look right, attempt to add additional amounts of one of the colors and re-mix. If you cannot get the color right within two or three tries, you should probably START OVER! When you are happy with the color, proceed to prepping your hole. All that really needs to be done here is to make sure the hole is flat and that no loose fibers are sticking out, use scissors or a sharp razor blade. Apply the glue with the application stick, being VERY CAREFUL TO NOT USE TOO MUCH GLUE. You need to use just enough glue to cover the hole flat. Then take your color-matched fibers and filter screen and hover above your hole. place the fibers on the screen and tap them out over the hole. No need to make it complex...just tap it out any way you can as long as it goes through the hole, but do not add too many extra fibers. Use the clean end of the applicator to press the fibers flat down against the hole. If your fabric has any kind of texture, let the glue dry for 10 minutes and come back and use the sides of the application tool to shape the glue. Let the glue dry for 12-24 hours. The procedure is slightly different for holes that will not seal up using glue alone, the fabric backing must be used as a backing.

INSTRUCTIONS***

I used this product to fix two small holes in my suede couch as well as a hole in my black car seat. All three holes are still somewhat noticeable, but what is left is MUCH BETTER than the hole that was left before. I removed the excess fibers, but I think that it would have been better to of left them to "blend" them into the couch, unglued or not. I suggest that once your happy with everything, try not to mess with it too much. It is what it is and its like that for better or worse. You just have to be confident in what you are doing and not start touching stuff up too much or you'll have yourself a mess! I have posted pictures of the holes i fixed on my couches.
