Title: Friend's childhood ponies cleaned (pic heavy)
Post by: Elva on January 08, 2019, 03:05:34 AM
My friend messaged me a month back and asked me if I wanted to clean her and her sister's childhood MLP's. Of course I said yes! The ponies were in poor condition and I wasn't able to restore them to their former glory completely, but at least now they are clean and their manes and tails look a little bit better. Sorry about the bad photos, the sun doesn't come out very often here  :biggrin:

Ringlets - Tail cut, mane was a huge mess, really dry. She had red modeling clay all over her!
Italy Snuzzle - Dirty, mane and tail felt really greasy. So. Much. Tail rust.

Bow Tie - Mane and tail were in tiny braids, very frizzy and dry. Here's a close-up (https://i.postimg.cc/0QT8NCMt/IMG-0152.jpg), where I have already opened at least 5 braids from her mane.
Sundance - She looked so sad :cry: Her hair was a huge mess and you could  literally scrape the dirt off of her

4-Speed - Head and body are different colors, tail is missing. He was rattling and the rust had come through the plastic and formed some icky-looking brown spots on his body.
Quarterback - Bite marks, mane and tail looked like they could never be untangled. Tail rust. After taking his head off I found out that he was really sticky inside.

Kisscurl and G2 Petal Blossom - Dirty but in the best condition out of these ponies.

All of them had a bath and most of them were opened. I used a magic sponge to scrub the tough stains,  but the basic work was done with a toothbrush and some dish soap. I smothered the rusty tails with toothpaste and that worked wonders! After untangling my way through all of their hair, I used a lot of conditioner to get them in shape. I also straightened almost all of their mane and tail a few hairs at a time to get rid of that frizz. Didn't make them silky but helped a bit.

Than you everypony ^.^ (At first I thought about typing everypony but then I tried to type everybody and it came out as everypody.)  I really like cleaning ponies, it is sooo relaxing!

Hopefully Imgur is working for everyone now so you can see the results! :P
