This Rosedust My Little Pony wasn't in too bad a condition but definitely needed some help. There were some marks on her body, the hair was tangled and frizzy and more importantly: Her wings were missing! I gave her a thorough clean with soap and then applied a little acetone, untangled her hair, styled it, and fixed a new set of wings. To be completely honest, I was never too enthusiastic about flutter ponies but she has won me over. I'm quite pleased with the result!
Important note about acetone: DO NOT use on eyes or symbols (it will erase them). WASH frequently between applications using water and soap, or the acetone will damage the vinyl.
