Car appearance modification is legal. According to the motor vehicle registration regulations, changing the color of a car's appearance is allowed, but modifying appearance accessories is not permitted. Changes to the body, frame, or engine can only be made if they are damaged beyond repair or have quality issues. When applying for modifications, proof from a repair shop and documentation of the origin of the replaced engine, body, or frame must be provided. Appearance modifications mainly include stickers, body painting, headlight decorative panels, front and rear perspective mirrors, etc. Illegal appearance modifications include self-installed bulbs without lenses, modified car logos, altered rims, large bumper wraps, spoiler installations, and certain suspension modifications.

Glazing: In addition to the benefits of waxing, glazing can enhance the strength of the paint and prevent fine scratches caused by windblown sand hitting the car body. The effect lasts relatively longer, about 3 to 4 months. 2. Waxing: Waxing is the most traditional and economical method of protecting car paint. Its main function is to inhibit the oxidation of the paint by external harmful elements, resist UV rays, and enhance the brightness of the paint. However, the effect is short-lived, generally about 1 month, and it is water-sensitive, losing its effectiveness after rain or car washing.
