My First Time Sunfading!

Oh no that must be pretty impressive acrylic that its not coming off with rubbing alcohol or hot water!!!!! Good luck Spiffy!

Think of all the experience you're getting in pony restoration by fixing her up! Don't give in!

LoL!  I won't!

Every time I get frustrated, I walk away & come back later.  I think it will be better once my 100 Magic Erasers arrive (this is the longest wait ever!  I've ordered from China before, but this is ridiculous!)

The mildew in the legs is the worst to get out - I can't get anything long enough to swab out the gunk.  I think I'll have to make something out of a wire hanger & paper towels.

Also popping denture tablets down into her legs and adding hot water helps with this.

Denture tablets!  Good idea!  I also happen to have some...

Here we are!  I am done with Sugarberry.  I can see some specks of paint in the photo.  She's whiter than she was.  All of the mildew has been cleared out, although there is some staining inside (it's inside - out of sight, out of mind!)

They look great!!

I've got to try this! Sugarberry and Baby Glory look beautiful!
I was always afraid of sunburning or worsening my ponies... but you've given me courage.. haha

If you can clean Sugarberry inside it will make her look whiter on the outside - is her head proving difficult to get off?

I had great luck sunfading a Baby Ribbon with marker on her face, lucky for me it was blue marker so it faded really well. I know it was there so I can still see it a bit but I was thrilled with the results. I got her for $18 because of the marker and now you can't see it unless you look!

Oh gosh! She looks fantastic! Nice work
