Quick answer

Store your Red Bull Display case away from direct sunlight and dust, and clean it gently with a microfiber cloth to keep the Verstappen No.1 print looking fresh.

Why display cases need special care

Display cases like the Red Bull Display featuring M. Verstappen No.1 are collectible items meant to be shown off. They combine a printed plastic shell with a pull-back mechanism, so dust, heat, and rough handling can dull the graphics or jam the wheels. A little routine care goes a long way in preserving the look and function.

Step-by-step care guide

  1. Dust regularly with a soft brush: Use a clean, soft-bristled paintbrush or a microfiber cloth to gently sweep dust off the display case and the Verstappen No.1 figure. Avoid pressing hard on the printed areas. Common mistake: using paper towels or rough cloths that can scratch the plastic surface.
  2. Keep out of direct sunlight: Place the display case on a shelf away from windows or strong indoor lights. UV rays can fade the red and blue print over time, especially on the cardboard backing if present. Checkpoint: if the display is near a window, rotate it occasionally so both sides age evenly.
  3. Store in a stable, level position: Set the case on a flat surface where it won't be knocked over. If you store it in a box, wrap it in acid-free tissue paper and cushion it so the pull-back wheels don't get jammed. Common mistake: stacking other items on top of the case, which can crack the plastic or bend the base.
  4. Clean the wheels only when needed: If the pull-back mechanism feels sticky, check the wheels for dust or hair. Use a toothpick to gently remove debris, then test the pull-back on a smooth surface. Checkpoint: never oil the pull-back mechanism—it is designed to run dry and oil attracts dust.

Product fact

  • Red Bull Display "M. Verstappen, No.1": This Carrera display item is tagged Pull & Speed and falls under the Toys category, suggesting a pull-back or speed-themed play item. The pull-back mechanism means the wheels and axle need to move freely, so storage that blocks the wheels or puts pressure on the chassis can affect function.
