Pony stains

[kat00]

On my confetti, she has these large and muddy brown stains. I have tried sunfading them for like a month now, but no luck. I am not sure if they are bacteria or just stains from something? Any advice on removing them would be appreciated

Have you seen The Preservation Project? This part in particular looks like it could be a similar situation.

My big sunfading project took from July - September so it can take a long time
(It’s not the same stain but here’s a timeline post)

The confetti I sunfaded took several months to fade anything away, even when it was really sunny >~< She does look like it might be sunburned? But I cant tell for sure. But I would also be careful and check her every day if you decide to sunfade her more, Confetti is a pony very prone to sunburning! (I have seen many really badly burnt ones and I had to stop fading mine because she showed early signs of sunburn) I wish you luck with her!

I have some with some similar staining. It was from a grease or oil that seeped into the vinyl. That's why the big spot is splotchy. I haven't been able to remove it and dark greases don't sunfade. Painting over may be an option.

The staining around the confetti symbols could be from the glitter. I have a Starflower with that around the stars. It also did not sunfade. My Starflower needs body work, so I just intend a paint touch up for her spots.
