Want to hear about Remove Zit experiences!

[Marian]

A few days ago I could get a Remove Zit on ebay, my idea is to use it on some very ink stained argies that I have, but first I would love to hear experiences or advices about it. Can it be used on any plastic color without having discolorations? what kind of stains does it remove?
Please tell me about your experiences!

[kittybethy]

I have used it a LOT!!

 My advice- do not use it on a dark color pony!!  (blue, purple, red, dark pink, etc...)

 It WILL fade the plastic! 


  Also, use Formula 911 after you take off the Remove Zit.  Formula 911 helps remove the residue of Remove Zit that will continue fading ponies after you remove the Remove Zit.

I used some to lighten a weird brown stain on a yellow pony. It worked out really well. But I've never used it other than that.

[Doedeardarling]

Ooh, do you guys think it could be used to evenly fade the color of a whole pony?

I had a Mimic arrive and after a while in the herd, a large pale spot emerged. I've been told that it can take a while to take aeffect and keep acting for a while so I assume this is what happened.

Just try some inside of the pony's neck or under her hooves to see if her colour bleaches out. Not every dark pony loses its colour, i've succesfully removed bad ink stains from a Pina Colada for example. It can take a week or so before anything happens, but it works.  I change the cream every morning and evening and I also kept them in sun to speed to process.

Here's some of mine:

Unfortunately I dont have a picture of that Pina Colada, but she was exactly the same as Baby Sapphire.  Oh and the lemondrop in the middle didnt change colour, its just the camera.

Oh man! I wanted to use it to fix an argie sparkler with pen marks, but I don't think I'll take the risk now ... What about more pale color ponies? like pink or yellow, does it fade there too?
And also I was wondering, does it affect the symbol/eyes paint?

[Pythia]

I really wouldn't risk it on rarer ponies.

[Baby Sugarberry]

Past experience tells us that Remove Zit and similar products are extremely risky choices for restoration.  I wouldn't use them on a pony that wasn't common / already bait condition / one I was willing to lose.  Damage can take weeks, months or more to show up. 

[kittybethy]

I would suggest sunfading on the rarer ponies.

 It is a lot safer, but it taks much longer.

  Best of luck to you!

I will admit that I have seen people have success with it over the years but personally I would warn against it. It is surprisingly powerful stuff - and even after you think you have removed it it could easily still have soaked into the plastic pores and be working without you realising. It is prone to leaching colour pigments from plastic and turning white plastic yellow. It has benzyl peroxide as its active ingredient - the key part there obviously being peroxide and we all know what that does.

If you decide to use it, do so in very short bursts and prepare for the fact that over time [even after you have finished using it] the area used may become patchy/blotchy.

Yes another victim of Remove-zit - Poor Seashell...

I've seen you mention this product, formula 911 to remove the remains of remove zit, but I can't get it on my country or on the internet as I did with remove zit. So I'm wondering, do you have any idea of it's chemical composition? I might be able to get something similar to avoid disasters with remove zit.

I bought a beautiful Italian Starflower. The seller however unfortunately tried to remove a couple of spots that I was intending to sunfade. She did it with the best of intentions, but here's what happened to my gorgeous pony on her trip from Europe

Poor ponies!  I got some stain remover from Retro UK.  No clue what's in it other than it smells like vinegar.  Anyone else try it?  It has lightened a Moon Dancer, but also attacks glitter.  Removed a pen mark from a "baity" Sparkler.  (not my definition)
