I did too! I always thought they were suppose to be like a giant Peachy!

:x is there a reason that what you used is secret? Why would you not what to share it so other ponies can benefit from it and be restored to their former beauty? (just wondering)

Regardless she cleaned up very well.

It's like those tv shows when someone gets a makeover and you hardly recognize the person afterwards. Well done on restoring her. :)

So without making this pic or text heavy, here is the comparison picture! Can you believe this is the same pony?

I’d of course love to own a beautiful mint pink My Pretty Pony some day but I’m always outbid on ebay, so until then I’m going to love this stunning girl for who she is.

She is absolutely gorgeous!  I honestly thought you did a full body repaint before I read about your restoration process.  You are a pony restoration wizard Tulips!

I'm proud of my efforts in researching a method to use and the results, but what I did was very risky and could have completely destroyed her. So I'd rather encourage other collectors interested in restoring to research and experiment themselves than try to copy my method and potentially ruin their ponies. If that makes sense? :blush:

Please do not ask about the secret ingredient!

Tulip that's an amazing transformation, I had no idea she was supposed to be pink either!  Bea-ut-iful.  There are some very talented pony restorers out there!

I am really curious about this secret ingredient too, but I think researching and reading trial and error stories are what make restore projects fun. Right now, I am only comfortable using magic erasers and sun fading. The more research I do, the more excited I get to restore ponies. I think you made the right choice in keeping your ingredient a secret. It definitely shows me that there is no pony that can't be restored with the right process and tools.

Your girl looks beautiful. Your story makes me want to research lightening up some of my darkened ponies in my personal collection. :heart:
