Man, I really messed up   :sad: I didn't experiment first  :( . I thought Oxy-Clean would be no big deal. Let me tell you a story.

I saw a pony I own valued at a very high price on the internet, and the value of the pony they showed made me see it as NM, or at least VG. I decided to "brighten" and clean mine.

I put the pony in a glass container on top of the dryer. I poured in boiling water, and she was face down, submerged. I put in the Oxy-Clean (very small amount) and it started sizzling. I came back five minutes later....

QUACKERS'S eyes had bubbles stuck to them like ants on an apple core!  :blink: :blink: :shocked: :huh: :( :cry: :yikes:    I used soaked soft warm fingernails to get the oxy-clean lux flakes or whatever they were off the eye. The right one has a little scratchtched. Completeletly clear, flat, transluscent, unscratchted, with NO interference paint left. I have never seen that before.

Then I looked at the one valued at around $100. Its body was equally discolored, its hair was the same, its symbols were a little worse, and its marks just a little lighter. Well it still has its eyeshine.

On the positive side, I was able to "scrucnch" Quackers's mane back to factory curl.

I would like to load pictures and ask for a price check but whether I try to paste an image or or hit "attachments and options" it just never works. How do you post pics?

The line of white on the front facet is not a reflection, it is the scratch. Anyway this is what I mean by "i have never seen" an almost unscratched surface, flat, translucent aqua with no interference at all. of course this is a camera flash, but it is still a little brighter when it does actually catch the light.

Well here she is swimming and hoping it doesn't rain or whatever she does  :satisfied: ....

Now that, Sir, is a tail (even though it isn't factory curl. I didn't need a flat iron or anything.)

back and super nice mane. there is a mark on the symbol, but the symbol itself is fine.

And with a flash she she now has very blue eyes.

Okay so Control + click, then "open image in new tab" and that tab will have the normal sized image. I will shrink pics next time first but im too drained to do it now...i didn't know my phone took enormous pictures!

Total bummer!  To post pictures you click the little Mona Lisa icon above and you need to paste the Image Address.  So when you right click on your image, don't click copy image, click copy image address and that will get it for you.

I have heard that Oxiclean would remove the paint on the gems before, but I don't think I've actually had any TE with the paint so I can't tell the difference...
You'll need to upload pictures on another site first!

Interesting to know...I have been using Oxyclean to clean almost all of my ponies, thankfully with no bad results yet. I don't generally soak them in it, just scrub with a little Oxy powder combined with dish soap. I've probably even scrubbed on or around twinkle eyes with it, but rinsed it right away. Maybe I'll scale that back, just in case...only use the Oxy on particularly grimy ponies. Thanks for the warning!

P.S...I always wished Latisse would have turned my light eyes brown...I was so excited when I heard about that peculiar side effect, and disappointed when it didn't happen.

I’m so sorry to hear that  :(

I had a similar experience with using oxyclean on a princess pony.  It will take the metallic paint right off the jewel.

The image embeds aren't working
should be perma-moderated
