Hear from Our Customers
You’ve invested serious money in your vehicle or yacht. Traditional wax fails in months. Ceramic coating creates a molecular bond that protects for years.
No more monthly waxing schedules. No more watching salt air destroy your finish. No more losing value because environmental damage slowly eats away at your investment.
Your luxury assets face unique challenges here in Pine Neck. Salt air, UV exposure, and moisture that would destroy unprotected surfaces. Real ceramic coating handles all of it.
Legacy Motors and Marine specializes in protecting what matters most to collectors and enthusiasts. Based in Port Jefferson Station, we built our facility specifically for high-value assets that require more than ordinary care.
Long Island’s coastal environment is brutal on unprotected finishes. Salt air, intense UV, harsh weather conditions—all of it adds up to expensive damage over time. That’s why you need protection designed for these specific conditions.
We maintain a climate-controlled facility that ensures optimal application conditions. Every vehicle gets treated with the same care you’d give your own prized possession. Because ordinary protection isn’t enough for extraordinary assets.
Real ceramic coating isn’t something you spray on in your driveway. It requires precision, controlled conditions, and professional expertise to create the molecular bond that delivers years of protection.
First, we inspect your vehicle’s surface and perform any necessary paint correction. This creates the flawless foundation that ceramic coating requires. Next, application happens in our climate-controlled environment using professional-grade equipment.
The coating cures to form a permanent, flexible protective layer that bonds directly with your paint. This process typically takes 24-48 hours depending on your specific needs. The result? Protection that becomes part of your vehicle’s surface, not just something sitting on top of it.

We offer ceramic coating services for both automotive and marine applications. Pine Neck residents often own luxury cars and boats, and each requires specialized protection for its specific environment.
Automotive applications get advanced graphene-infused coatings that handle road salt, UV rays, and daily driving conditions. Marine vessels get marine-specific formulations designed for salt water, constant moisture, and harsh sun exposure.
Living near the water means your vehicles face challenges that inland areas don’t see. Salt air from nearby waters, intense summer sun, brutal winter conditions. We choose our ceramic coatings specifically to address these local environmental factors. Your investment stays protected year-round.
Marine-specific ceramic coatings last 2-3 years with proper application, significantly longer than automotive coatings that fail in months when exposed to salt water. The difference is in the formulation—marine coatings are engineered specifically for constant salt exposure, UV rays, and moisture.
Many boat owners use automotive ceramic coatings on their vessels and wonder why they fail so quickly. Marine environments are completely different from road conditions. We use marine-grade coatings that bond at the molecular level with gelcoat and fiberglass, creating protection that actually gets stronger over time.
Maintenance is simple. Regular rinses and occasional pH-neutral soap washing. The hydrophobic properties mean most contaminants rinse away easily, making your boat cleaner with less effort than you’ve ever experienced.
Wax lasts 2-3 months and provides minimal protection. Ceramic coating creates a permanent molecular bond that lasts years while providing superior protection against UV rays, salt, chemicals, and physical contaminants.
Wax sits on top of your paint and wears away with each wash. Ceramic coating becomes part of your paint’s protective system, creating a harder, more durable surface that’s significantly more resistant to damage.
The cost difference is substantial over time. Higher upfront investment, yes. But you eliminate regular waxing costs and reduce paint correction needs. Plus your vehicle maintains its value better with professional ceramic protection. The math works in your favor.
Yes, ceramic coating enhances paint protection film performance when applied correctly. The ceramic coating adds hydrophobic properties to the PPF, making it easier to clean and helping maintain its clarity over time.
This combination provides ultimate protection. PPF guards against physical damage like rock chips and scratches. Ceramic coating protects against chemical contamination, UV damage, and makes maintenance significantly easier. The ceramic coating also prevents PPF from yellowing or becoming cloudy.
The PPF must be properly installed and fully cured before ceramic application. We inspect all existing PPF to ensure it’s in good condition and properly adhered. No shortcuts, no compromises.
Pine Neck’s coastal location makes ceramic coating more valuable, not less effective. Constant salt air, high humidity, and intense UV exposure from sun reflecting off water create challenging conditions that destroy unprotected paint.
Ceramic coatings handle these harsh coastal conditions because they’re designed for them. The molecular bond prevents salt from etching into your paint, while UV-resistant properties prevent the fading and oxidation that’s common in coastal areas.
Without proper protection, vehicles in coastal areas show paint damage within the first year. Salt air is aggressive on unprotected surfaces. We use ceramic coatings that neutralize these environmental threats, extending your vehicle’s finish life beyond what you’d expect anywhere else.
Ceramic coating dramatically reduces maintenance, but it’s not maintenance-free. Regular washing with pH-neutral soap and proper drying keeps your coating performing optimally for years.
Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes or strong chemicals—these gradually wear down any coating. Hand washing or touchless systems work best. The hydrophobic properties mean dirt and contaminants rinse away easily, making washing faster and more effective than you’re used to.
We recommend professional inspection every 12-18 months to ensure optimal performance and address any specific concerns. This might include applying a maintenance spray or addressing heavy wear areas, but it’s minimal compared to constant waxing and detailing without ceramic protection.
Absolutely. Seasonal storage makes ceramic coating more valuable because your vehicle sits exposed to environmental contaminants for months without regular cleaning. Dust, humidity, temperature fluctuations, and storage-related issues damage unprotected paint over time.
Ceramic coating provides 24/7 protection whether you’re driving daily or storing for months. The molecular bond doesn’t weaken during storage. You’ll notice the difference when you bring your vehicle out—it comes out cleaner and maintains its gloss better than unprotected vehicles.
For seasonal boat storage, ceramic coating is especially valuable. Marine environments are brutal on unprotected gelcoat and metal surfaces. The coating continues working even when covered or stored, preventing oxidation and environmental damage that typically occurs during storage periods.
