How to clean a rusty pony?

[Aliyahbetd]

I recently bought a pony off of ebay. I thought she was a good deal but apparently "a few scuffs" really means filled with so much rust it was pouring out of her neck hole, and a haircut. sigh... 

Anyway I changed out her rusty washer, and managed to clean her out pretty well with cotton swabs, but try as a might, there are just some spots i can't get to.

How do you clean out a rusty pony? Are there any special tools or cleaners you use to get into those small spaces? And if I cant get all the rust inside, does that mean it will come back? even with the washer replaced with plastic?

thanks!

Thanks! Not sure where to get a bottle brush, but I will definitely try an oxiclean bath

You can find bottle brushes at your local wallmart, or anywhere that carries baby items.

My big brother steamer had a rusty tail so it was all over him so i gave him a bath in coka cola not diet coke just regular. And that ate the rust up. Of course I gave a soap bath after a bath in soda lol

oh wow im not brave enough to pour coke down a pony's body. o.O oxy clean for life man and that's chemicals too. :/

Does oxy clean get rid of rust too? *Looks round*

yeah it does if you boil it with a pony but not so softs , glittery symbols or twinkle eyes it can make damage on them. Also ponies with chartreuse hair the bright yellow can turn ponies a different color while boiling them.  :/ some use oxy-clean as a spray on oxy clean bottle I think with so softs.
