If it is a small area that is affected and the fabric is not completely burned through, you can touch up the area with a permanent marker that is the same color as the interior. It will still be there, but will be much less noticeable to those riding in the car. Another option is to patch it with a piece of fabric taken from a less notable place in your car. Use superglue to cove the burn, after it dries, you won’t even be able to tell that there was a burn there in the first place.
