If she seems to have been poorly restored, maybe that person followed some acne cream tutorial indeed. But at the same time, she seems to have her vinyl discolored right behind her symbols. Technically, acne cream victims get discolored locally where the cream was applied, isn't it ? In that case, shouldn't the symbol be completely erased at the moment that person cleaned her up ?But that pony looks very suspicious. When in doubts, I'd consider her as an acne cream victim, but of course, there are more experienced people who can share their opinion.
Her symbols looks like it has been simply worn off by time. I suppose it would have been pretty much gone or very badly rubbed off if it was the work of acne cream.Like you said, maybe her Mexican vinyl is a lesser quality, so the cream effect may have spread way out of the zone where it was applied back then, so, not the symbol, but maybe somewhere around it.
What if it was regrind ? Do you think this could be an option ? Now, it's hard to tell the difference, but I though acne cream whitened every pony vinyl, but I strongly think I might be wrong. Regrind, on the other hand, makes the plastic another color, making big blotches until the pony is fully converted.
I do not think it was caused by acne creams. Long ago I ruined my childhood ponies with it and later a few others after experimenting, it looks different. It usually makes white spots, completely removes the colour. It's easy to see where it was applied. And yeah, it also removes color from paints.It could be anything really. I once saw a similar discoloured pony. Someone had sprayed hair spray on her years ago and causing bad discoloration.
Thank you soo much, because now I atleast know for almost certain chemicals have done this to her. We just will never know what chemicals, at this point it's probably impossible to track even the person the seller bought the lot from.

We just will never know what chemicals, at this point it's probably impossible to track even the person the seller bought the lot from.It could be a combination of many things, but to me it looks like some chemical. Hairspray, perfume.. something like that. Especially because you said she was slimy outside? Who knows what happens to plastic over the years if something like that is applied on it. Of course I can't be sure it's not creams, but I've used them so much over the years and in my opinion it just looks different.
I'd agree this looks like chemical damage, if not acne cream that something else unfortunately. There's some serious bleaching that's gone on. It can happen that bleaching stains like that spread out under paint, depending on how many years it's been since the initial damage.
The tail washer looks like a standard washer to me. Most Nirvana ponies have tails tied with string then have a washer with them.
If she's sticky it makes me wonder if it's plasticizer letching out from her. Maybe not what made her over colour change but could be in addition to whatever else is going on.
