Help with cleaning (pictures)

[CarolSpain]

Recently I added some new G3 ponies to my collection (I'm being lucky at the flea markets  )

I was worried about pink stains on Sapphire Shores' hair. They seemed ink. But after the washing, they are almost invisible.

However, the spots between their front legs are which I cannot remove.
I thought they were nail polish, but now I don't know what to think.

Any idea?


Otherwise, I bought this Meadowbrook with red marks. What can I do?
I bought her knowing that the marks would not disappear. Her hair and the rest of the body are in very good shape.

I tried with alcohol, dissolvent and magic eraser on both girls.

Sincerely I don't trust in magic eraser, it usually doesn't help.

I have had pretty much nothing but success with magic eraser but I have heard other people have had little luck as well. Just shows how different people can get on

If you have tried all of the things you have listed...I would say you need to take it to sun fading Thats your best option for the those marks.

I have a Mimic, not SS Lickety Split and Tickle who all have red polish stains. I stuck them in a window and the polish is slowly fading. You may have to keep them in a window for a while but it does work, it just takes time.

I'm not sure yet how it effects the integrity of the plastic, so just a thought. I used a cleaning product called kaboom. It comes in a purple bottle. It's pretty brutal stuff. I usually would clean nasty old tubs and showers with it. That said, I tried it on a particularly messy pony who was in otherwise great condition. She had a red/pink blotch across one side. It worked! She looks like new. I only used a tiny diluted amount, less than a squirt, and didn't let it touch her hair. I've never mentioned or posted it before since I was waiting to see if it did damage I can't see yet.

I have had some ponies marks disappear with non acetonic nail polish remover (not for symbol/eyes) but it won't always help. SOme collectors has used baking soda + water to removing marks but I haven't been successful with it
