Restored TE Speedy
« on: May 24, 2014, 09:23:24 AM »
I took a crack at my first ever restoration over this weekend, and she turned out great! I was cleaning my room this week and I found her on my bookshelf. I'd bought her like two years ago to fix, but forgot about her.

TE Speedy had serious tail rust, a dirty body, and messy hair. I separated her head from her body and soaked the body in oxyclean. Since I heard oxyclean removes the coating on twinkle eyes, I only poured the oxyclean inside of her head. I scrubbed all of the gross rust out.

Then I washed and conditioned her hair until it was soft again. I went out and got a replacement washer (plastic!) and put the tail back in the pony once it had dried. I'm very happy with the results, and I think I will be more receptive to buying more fair quality ponies now. The only issue is her white and yellow hair is still a bit tangly.. I'm not sure if it's something about the color, or what. Maybe I'll go back and try to restyle it to get that curl in it.
