You’ll never worry about your paint again. Our ceramic coating creates an invisible barrier that repels everything from bird droppings to salt spray, while that deep gloss finish makes your vehicle look better than the day you bought it.
No more monthly waxing. No more stress about parking outside. No more watching your investment lose its luster every few months. Just years of protection that works harder than anything you’ve tried before.
The difference is immediate and lasting. Water beads off like magic. Dirt wipes away with minimal effort. Your paint stays protected through seasons of Long Island weather, maintaining that showroom depth you paid for.
Legacy Motors and Marine exists because luxury vehicle owners in Pine Aire needed someone who actually understands their investments. We’re not another quick-detail shop trying to upsell ceramic coating.
Our facility was built specifically for collectors and enthusiasts who expect precision, protection, and respect. We work with exotic cars, luxury boats, and yachts because we know these aren’t just vehicles – they’re legacies.
Pine Aire residents own more cars per household than 99.9% of the country. You understand quality, and you recognize when someone knows what they’re doing. That’s exactly what you’ll find here.
First, we assess your vehicle’s current condition. Every surface gets decontaminated and any imperfections are corrected through paint correction. You can’t coat over problems and expect professional results.
Next comes the actual application. Our ceramic coating bonds at the molecular level with your paint, creating a semi-permanent protective layer. This isn’t spray-and-pray application – it’s precision work done in controlled conditions.
The curing process is critical. We use proper temperature and humidity controls to ensure maximum bonding. Rush jobs fail. Proper ceramic coating takes time to cure correctly, which is why your vehicle stays with us until the process is complete.

Your ceramic coating service includes complete paint correction, professional-grade nano-ceramic application, and proper curing in our climate-controlled facility. We work on both automotive and marine applications because Pine Aire owners often have both.
Marine ceramic coating requires different formulations than automotive applications. Salt water, UV exposure, and constant moisture demand specialized protection. We use marine-grade ceramic coatings that are specifically engineered for harsh aquatic environments.
The Long Island marine environment is particularly challenging. Between the salt air, intense summer sun, and winter storage conditions, your yacht’s gelcoat faces constant attack. Our marine ceramic coatings provide up to 18 months of protection with minimal maintenance required.
Professional ceramic coating lasts 2-5 years on automotive applications and up to 18 months on marine vessels, depending on exposure conditions. The Long Island climate is actually ideal for ceramic coatings because we don’t have extreme temperature swings that can stress the coating.
Your specific longevity depends on how the vehicle is used and stored. Garage-kept exotic cars can see 5+ years of protection, while daily drivers typically get 2-3 years. Marine applications face harsher conditions, so 12-18 months is realistic for boats that see regular saltwater use.
The key difference between our professional application and DIY products is preparation and curing. Proper surface prep and controlled curing conditions dramatically extend coating life compared to spray-on consumer products.
Ceramic coating bonds permanently with your paint at the molecular level, while wax sits on top and washes away. Traditional carnauba wax lasts 2-3 months maximum. Professional ceramic coating lasts years.
The protection level isn’t even comparable. Wax provides minimal UV protection and zero scratch resistance. Ceramic coating creates a hard, chemical-resistant barrier that actually prevents damage rather than just making your car look shiny for a few weeks.
Cost-wise, ceramic coating pays for itself quickly. Instead of waxing 4-6 times per year, you get years of protection from one professional application. Plus, your vehicle stays cleaner longer and washes easier, saving time and money on maintenance.
Yes, but different formulations are required. Automotive ceramic coatings are optimized for paint and clear coat, while marine coatings are engineered for gelcoat and the harsh saltwater environment. We use the appropriate coating for each application.
Marine ceramic coatings have higher solids content to bond properly with porous gelcoat surfaces. They’re also formulated to resist salt crystallization and provide better UV protection for extended sun exposure on the water.
We’re one of the few facilities on Long Island that specialize in both automotive and marine ceramic coating applications. Most shops focus on one or the other, but Pine Aire clients often own both luxury cars and yachts that need proper protection.
Absolutely. Even in perfect storage conditions, ceramic coating provides benefits that storage alone cannot. It prevents dust bonding, makes cleaning effortless, and maintains that deep gloss finish that storage can’t preserve.
Climate-controlled storage protects against temperature and humidity extremes, but it doesn’t prevent oxidation, dust accumulation, or the gradual dulling that happens to unprotected paint over time. Ceramic coating ensures your vehicle looks showroom-ready whenever you’re ready to drive or show it.
For collectors who store vehicles long-term, ceramic coating is actually more important. You’re not washing and maintaining these vehicles regularly, so the protection needs to work without intervention. Professional ceramic coating provides that hands-off protection for years.
Proper preparation is everything. The surface must be completely decontaminated, all oxidation removed, and any paint imperfections corrected through polishing. Ceramic coating doesn’t hide problems – it seals them in permanently if you skip proper prep.
We start with a thorough wash and clay bar treatment to remove surface contaminants. Then comes paint correction to eliminate swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. Only when the surface is perfect do we apply the ceramic coating. Shortcuts here ruin the entire process.
Environmental conditions matter too. Temperature, humidity, and air quality all affect coating performance. Our climate-controlled facility ensures optimal conditions for both preparation and application. You can’t get professional results in your driveway, regardless of the product quality.
Maintenance is surprisingly simple, which is the whole point. Regular washing with pH-neutral soap is all that’s required. Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes, and don’t use abrasive compounds or polishes on the coated surface.
The ceramic coating’s hydrophobic properties mean dirt and contaminants don’t bond strongly with the surface. Most contamination rinses away easily, and what remains wipes off with minimal effort. You’ll spend far less time cleaning your vehicle than before.
For marine applications, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure when possible. The coating prevents salt crystallization, but fresh water rinse extends coating life. Annual inspection and possible touch-up application may be recommended for boats in heavy use.
