She looks fantastic! Was this the work of regular sunfading, or did you end up putting her in a peroxide bath as well?

Ooh, I remember that Baby Moondancer!  I knew she looked familiar.  :D

I am so glad that she's getting a second chance.  She's looking so much better and whiter now.  You're doing an amazing restore job.  :)

Yep I almost don't believe it myself, maybe with a little more luck from the sun + peroxide bath she will be as good as new! Sadly her hair is suffering from this... It's kind of courser now but I expected as much..

Yep, had to point those spots out XD But you can't even see the splotches that covered her whole body, which is what amazed me the most!

Moondancer: I'm the same pony D: I still have that mark on my cute little muzzle :(

I'm glad I bought her. I'm sure several would have seen 'bait' potential there but I saw restore potential... actually I see that now with a lot of baity ponies. Restore potential vs. bait potential xD

I get such warm and fuzzy feelings whenever I see a sad little pony get restored!  I'm so impressed with what you've done to her.  Awesome job!!!!!

Wow! She's looking great!
I didn't know you could remove cancer spots too such a degree. You're a miracle worker. XD
Good luck on removing those final little spots.

Lol I didn't know so much either XD But I remembered that you could whiten yellowed ponies so I figured I'd give the treatment I've been giving her a try ^^;

Post by: hathorcat on January 18, 2012, 02:25:29 PM

Wow! I just didnt even think cancer spots like that could be removed!!!! It makes me shamefully wonder about all the ponies I have simply declared "bait" or poor and replaced with ones without that horrible ageing mark spread

Inspiring thread! Fantastic!!!

Post by: sd_dreamcrystal on January 18, 2012, 03:01:39 PM

 :devious: My plan is working! *evil laughs* Pretty soon -no- baity looking pony will be seen as a bait! *Mwahahahahaha!*

Ooops did I say that out loud XD Just Kidding, but yeah I had a few ponies that would have been considered baity that did a complete 180 with restoration work! Makes me wish I had this girl when that restoration contest was still running ^^;

She looks amazing! It's nice to see her progressing along so well! I love restoring ponies, so I'd rather restore before bait if I can. *_*

Question! Does the peroxide bath work on non-white ponies that won't take to sunfading? I have a Hearthtrob given to me by a friend which I've lost contact with. I've been restoring her, but she's a little yellowed in places. I'm wondering if it might brighten her up somewhat.

That is one thing I don't know, I know for white ponies it works well but for other colors... no clue
