I was a professional detailer for two years and we had a trick to fix holes. If they are small holes or burns, try to clean the area as best as possible. After that, graft a small amount of carpet from under the seat and use a clear glue on it. Just skim the top of the carpet and you won't know a difference. This will work if they are small.

What about on the door panels? Every now and then in tight parking areas my foot hits the map holder down low on the door. How do you get those scuffs off the door?

I don't know how to remove them but I put a piece of velcro (the soft fuzzy side) on the console side of the seatbelt lock to keep from scratching the console in the first place.
