Restoring Princess Primrose.

I recently found a pretty neglected Princess Primrose/Ruby. Her pink tinsel in her hair was in awful condition and literally untameable, and seeing as though I have no intentions of selling her on, I de-tinselled her. I managed to remove most pen marks with tea tree oil. However, on her right ear there are 2 orange marks, I'm not sure what they are. Ink, maybe? I've tried sunning, tea tree oil and they won't budge. Any ideas what might get rid of them, if I can? If products are an idea, they will have to be UK brands.

I don't think they'll come off. They're probably regrind or something similar. You could try styling her hair over that ear maybe?

As Skeen said, they probably won't come off. You could, however, try some nail polish remover with Acetone - if they are removable then this should lessen their appearance or get rid of them altogether. Be careful not to get it on any of your pony's painted areas, though!

Thank you guys. :-)
I'll try the nail polish remover, but she'll be beautiful nonetheless even if they don't come off hehe.
