I'll bite! Not that this restoration was too drastic, just a magic eraser and a looooot of conditioner, but it's special to me since it was my first attempt at cleaning up a pony. Sorry for the weird lighting and yucky cell phone picture quality on the photos!

I just finished my first attempt at cleaning up a So Soft, but I don't have my camera with me, so I'll have to save that one for later.

One of my favorite cleanups--I was so happy that with care, luck, and a lot of conditioner, her smooth curls came back!

I love her new mane.

I haven't really 'restored' a pony any more than a wip with a magic eraser and conditioning the hair. Plus, I have nothing to take pics with...

This Twisty Tail had a dry, frizzy tail that looked like a ketchup/mustard mash up b/c all of the colors were so mixed up.  Here is the tail after I started picking the colors apart (YES I did that--not for the faint of heart) and before it had a date w/ conditioner and a straightening iron:

Sadly I did not own this pony--it was part of a huge bunch of ponies a friend had in storage.  She pulled them out for me to see them, I cleaned them/fixed them up, then back to storage they went!  :(

Wow, that's amazing patients and results!  She looks brand new!  I did that for one of my friends too, while I was cat sitting for her.  I washed and conditioned her ponies from garage sales and returned them, lol.

My childhood Bouquet's tail looks JUST like that and I was wondering if it would be fixable! That is awesome!

These both involved sculpting some new body pieces- Gingerbread had part of her horn missing and a chunk out of a hoof, and Surprise had a chewed ear and hoof. Painting and lots of NC sun!

Most of the stains were removed with Oxyclean, sunfading and soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide. I repainted her symbols and gave her a new mane and tail.


And this reminds me, I still have to finish the rest of the ponies that I found with Scoops. ^_^;
