Your vehicle walks away with a finish that’s harder than factory paint. Not just shinier—actually protected.
The ceramic coating we apply creates a molecular bond with your paint that laughs at UV rays, bird droppings, and road salt. You’re looking at years of protection, not months. Your car or yacht maintains that deep, wet-look gloss without constant waxing or polishing.
Most importantly, you avoid the headache and expense of premature paint correction or full repaints. The coating does the work so you don’t have to worry about it.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been protecting high-value vehicles and marine vessels on Long Island for years. We’re not a quick-detail shop trying to upsell ceramic coating.
Our facility in Port Jefferson Station was built specifically for exotic cars and luxury yachts. Climate-controlled environment, professional-grade equipment, and technicians who understand the difference between a $30,000 car and a $300,000 one.
When Manorville residents need real protection for their investments, they drive here because we treat every vehicle like it’s heading to a concours event.
First, we perform multi-stage paint correction to remove any existing swirl marks, scratches, or imperfections. You can’t put ceramic coating over damaged paint and expect good results.
Next comes the meticulous surface prep. Every panel gets decontaminated and prepped to ensure proper molecular bonding. This isn’t a spray-and-wipe situation.
Then we apply the ceramic coating in controlled sections, working in our climate-controlled bay to ensure optimal curing conditions. The coating needs specific temperature and humidity levels to cure properly—something most shops ignore.
Final inspection happens under professional lighting to ensure complete, even coverage. The whole process takes days, not hours, because that’s what real protection requires.

You get professional-grade ceramic coating application with multi-stage paint correction included. Not an add-on—part of the process.
For Manorville’s luxury vehicle owners, we offer both traditional ceramic coatings and advanced graphene options for superior durability. Marine vessels get specialized coatings designed for saltwater exposure and UV intensity.
Every application includes detailed documentation of the process, care instructions, and warranty information. You’re also getting our concierge pickup and delivery service because we know your time matters.
Long Island’s marine environment is particularly harsh on paint and gel coat. Our coatings are specifically chosen and applied to handle the salt air, intense summer sun, and winter road treatments that destroy unprotected surfaces.
Real ceramic coating lasts 3-5 years with proper maintenance, not the 10+ years some shops claim. The longevity depends on your vehicle’s exposure and how well you maintain it.
Our professional-grade coatings maintain their protective properties for years, but the hydrophobic effect and gloss will gradually diminish. That’s normal and expected. What matters is the paint protection underneath stays active.
For Manorville’s climate with road salt in winter and intense summer sun, expect the coating to perform at peak levels for 3-4 years, then gradually decline. We’ll inspect it annually and let you know when it needs refreshing.
Absolutely, especially for marine vessels that face constant UV exposure and saltwater contact. Gel coat is expensive to repair and refinish—ceramic coating prevents most of that damage.
Marine ceramic coatings resist salt buildup, UV fading, and oxidation that destroys unprotected gel coat. You’ll spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your vessel.
For Long Island boat owners, the coating pays for itself by eliminating frequent waxing and reducing gel coat maintenance. One application protects better than monthly waxing sessions, and it actually lasts.
Ceramic coating creates a permanent molecular bond with your paint that becomes part of the surface. Wax sits on top and washes away in weeks.
The coating is measurably harder than paint—9H hardness versus paint’s 2H-4H rating. It actually prevents scratches that would go right through wax. UV protection is also significantly better and doesn’t degrade like wax.
Cost-wise, ceramic coating eliminates the need for regular waxing, polishing, and frequent paint correction. You pay once for years of protection instead of paying repeatedly for temporary solutions.
No, and any shop that says otherwise is cutting corners. Ceramic coating amplifies whatever’s underneath—if your paint has swirl marks or scratches, the coating makes them more visible.
That’s why our process includes multi-stage paint correction before coating application. We remove existing damage, then apply the coating to a perfect surface.
Trying to coat over imperfections is like putting clear coat over scratched paint. It doesn’t hide the damage, it highlights it. Proper preparation is what separates professional application from quick-shop work.
Professional ceramic coating with proper paint correction ranges from $1,500-$4,000 depending on vehicle size, condition, and coating type. Exotic cars and large yachts cost more due to complexity and surface area.
The price includes paint correction, surface preparation, professional-grade coating application, and warranty. Cheaper options exist, but they typically skip the paint correction or use consumer-grade products.
For Manorville clients with high-value vehicles, the investment protects assets worth significantly more than the coating cost. Consider it insurance against expensive paint repairs and depreciation from poor paint condition.
Ceramic coating requires minimal maintenance but isn’t maintenance-free. You’ll need pH-neutral soap for washing and should avoid automatic car washes with harsh chemicals.
Annual inspections help identify any areas needing attention before they become problems. We provide specific care instructions and recommended products that won’t damage the coating.
The main benefit is what you don’t have to do—no more waxing, polishing, or frequent paint correction. Proper washing and occasional professional inspection keeps the coating performing for years.
