Your vehicle becomes virtually maintenance-free. Water beads and rolls off effortlessly. Environmental contaminants like bird droppings, road salt, and UV rays can’t penetrate the molecular barrier we’ve created.
You’ll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying what you own. The deep, mirror-like gloss stays consistent through seasons, weather, and daily use. Your investment maintains its value because the paint stays protected at the molecular level.
This isn’t temporary protection that wears off in months. You’re looking at years of defense that actually gets stronger over time, not weaker.
We’ve been protecting high-value assets in Port Jefferson Station and throughout Suffolk County for years. We’re not just another detailing shop—we’re specialists who understand what exotic cars and luxury yachts actually need.
Our climate-controlled facility was built specifically for precision work. We’ve seen what happens when ceramic coating gets applied in dusty garages or humid conditions. That’s why we invested in the environment your vehicle deserves.
Setauket’s coastal climate presents unique challenges. Salt air, humidity, and intense summer sun can destroy unprotected paint in months. We know this area, and we know how to defend against it.
First, we inspect every surface to identify any existing damage. Paint correction happens before coating—because sealing in scratches or swirl marks defeats the purpose.
Next comes decontamination. We remove embedded contaminants, iron particles, and residue that could interfere with the molecular bond. This step separates professional work from amateur attempts.
The ceramic coating application happens in our controlled environment. Multiple thin layers are applied with precision timing. Each layer bonds to create a protective shell that’s harder than your original clear coat.
Finally, we cure the coating properly. Temperature and humidity matter during this phase. Rush this step, and the coating fails. Do it right, and you get years of protection.

Complete paint correction to eliminate existing imperfections. Multi-layer ceramic coating application on all painted surfaces. Glass coating for windshields and windows. Wheel face protection with specialized formulations.
For marine applications, we use coatings engineered specifically for saltwater environments. Regular automotive coatings fail quickly in marine conditions. Ours are formulated to handle what Long Island Sound throws at your yacht.
Setauket boat owners face unique challenges. The combination of salt spray, intense UV reflection off water, and seasonal storage creates the perfect storm for gelcoat damage. Our marine ceramic coatings provide up to 18 months of protection with minimal maintenance required.
Every application includes detailed aftercare instructions and maintenance products. We’re not interested in one-time transactions. We want your coating to perform exactly as promised for years.
Professional-grade ceramic coatings last 2-5 years depending on the specific product and environmental conditions. Setauket’s coastal location means more salt exposure, but our coatings are formulated to handle Long Island’s climate.
The key is proper application and maintenance. Coatings applied in controlled conditions with proper surface preparation consistently outperform those applied elsewhere. We’ve seen our work maintain protection and gloss for the full warranty period when customers follow our maintenance guidelines.
Marine applications typically see 18-24 months of optimal protection due to harsher saltwater conditions. However, this is still 3-4 times longer than traditional marine waxes, with significantly less maintenance required.
Yes, but the formulations are different. Automotive ceramic coatings aren’t designed for marine environments and will fail quickly on boats. Marine coatings handle saltwater, higher UV exposure, and the thermal cycling that happens with watercraft.
We stock both automotive and marine-specific ceramic coatings. The marine versions have higher solids content and different chemical compositions to bond properly with gelcoat and withstand constant moisture exposure.
For Setauket clients with both luxury cars and yachts, we often coordinate timing to protect both assets efficiently. The processes are similar, but the products and cure times vary based on the application.
Wax is a temporary sacrificial layer that wears away in weeks or months. Ceramic coating creates a permanent molecular bond with your paint that becomes part of the surface. It’s like adding an extra clear coat layer that’s harder and more chemical resistant than the original.
Wax provides minimal UV protection and no scratch resistance. Ceramic coating offers both, plus hydrophobic properties that make cleaning effortless. Water and contaminants literally slide off the surface instead of bonding to it.
The cost difference reflects the longevity difference. Quality ceramic coating costs more upfront but eliminates the need for regular waxing, frequent detailing, and provides superior protection for years instead of months.
Paint correction is essential before ceramic coating. Any scratches, swirl marks, or oxidation get permanently sealed under the coating. We won’t apply ceramic coating over damaged paint because it defeats the purpose and wastes your investment.
Our paint correction process removes defects through controlled abrasion and polishing. We assess each vehicle individually because correction needs vary based on paint condition, age, and previous care. Some vehicles need single-stage polishing, others require multi-stage correction.
Setauket’s coastal environment often creates unique paint challenges. Salt air accelerates oxidation, and many vehicles show etching from environmental fallout. We address these issues before coating application to ensure optimal results.
Maintenance is minimal but specific. Regular washing with pH-neutral soap is essential. Avoid automatic car washes that use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. Hand washing or touchless systems work best.
We provide specific aftercare products and detailed instructions. Using the wrong products can damage the coating or reduce its effectiveness. The investment in proper maintenance products pays for itself through extended coating life.
For marine applications, regular freshwater rinses after saltwater exposure help maintain the coating’s hydrophobic properties. The coating still protects without this maintenance, but consistent care maximizes longevity and performance.
We understand high-value assets because that’s all we work with. Our facility was designed specifically for precision work on luxury vehicles and yachts. Climate control, proper lighting, and contamination-free environment aren’t optional—they’re essential for proper coating application.
Experience matters with ceramic coating. Improper application creates expensive problems that require complete removal and reapplication. We’ve been protecting valuable assets in the Port Jefferson Station area for years with proven results.
Our clients include collectors, enthusiasts, and owners who expect perfection. We treat every vehicle like our own because we understand what these investments mean to their owners. When you’re protecting a six-figure asset, you want specialists, not generalists.
