Help! Toy on Adverts on Nick channel - no idea what it is?

Hello,

My sister is desperate for any help. My nephew has seen an ad for a toy where you can strip, remove rust and paint little (I'm guessing diecast) cars. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? Thanks

Haven't seen that ad but found this if it helps

Thanks for the link, I'll show my sister. I did find something called custom garage - does that ring any bells moneyluva? You can see it at argos: http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500000701&langId=-1&searchTerms=custom+garage&x=0&y=0

The only thing is it's out of stock!

If we are on about the same thing (I think we are) the link provided by Bright Idea is defo NOT the product I saw. Its more like the argos link you found... it could even BE that one, the ones I saw looks similar, except they used a little hand tool thing to "grind" the rust n stuff off, you dont actually paint them, they are just nice cars covered in something that they can rub off to reveal the "new" paint underneath (as though they have been souped up!)?!?! I'll keep an eye out!!
