Your exotic car stays mirror-perfect through harsh Hamptons winters. Your yacht maintains that deep, wet-look gloss even after months on saltwater.

Ceramic Coating Process Shinnecock Hills

Transparent Process, Professional Results

First, we inspect your vehicle completely. Every surface gets evaluated for paint correction needs, existing damage, and the best coating approach. No surprises, no hidden issues discovered halfway through. Next comes the prep work that separates professional applications from quick jobs. We perform paint correction to remove any oxidation, swirl marks, or imperfections. The surface has to be perfect before coating—there’s no fixing problems after the ceramic cures. Then we apply the coating in our climate-controlled environment. Multiple thin layers, properly cured between applications. The process takes time because chemistry doesn’t rush. We use professional-grade products that bond permanently with your paint and gelcoat. Finally, you get detailed care instructions and realistic expectations. The coating needs 24-48 hours to fully cure. After that, you have years of protection that makes maintenance simple and keeps your investment looking exceptional.

About Legacy Motors & Marine

Marine Automotive Coating Shinnecock Hills

What's Actually Included In Professional Application

You get complete surface preparation including paint correction, decontamination, and proper cleaning. The ceramic coating itself—professional-grade products that cure harder and last longer than consumer versions. Multiple coats applied with precision timing for maximum thickness and durability. For marine applications, we use coatings specifically formulated for saltwater exposure. These aren’t automotive products adapted for boats—they’re engineered for UV protection, salt corrosion resistance, and the unique challenges of marine environments. In Shinnecock Hills, NY, your vehicles face specific challenges. Salt air from the nearby coast, intense summer sun, and winter road treatments that can damage unprotected surfaces. Our coatings are selected and applied with these local conditions in mind. You’re not getting a generic treatment—you’re getting protection designed for exactly where you drive and dock your assets.

How long does ceramic coating last on luxury cars and yachts?

Professional-grade ceramic coating typically lasts 2-5 years on automotive applications and 18 months to 3 years on marine vessels, depending on exposure and maintenance. The key difference is in the quality of products and application. Consumer-grade coatings might last 6-12 months. Professional coatings cure harder, bond deeper, and resist environmental damage longer. On yachts, saltwater exposure is the biggest factor—properly applied marine coatings are specifically formulated to handle salt corrosion and UV damage that would destroy standard products. Your coating longevity also depends on maintenance. Following proper care procedures extends protection significantly. We provide specific instructions for both automotive and marine applications to maximize your investment.

What's the difference between ceramic coating and traditional wax protection?

Ceramic coating bonds chemically with your paint or gelcoat, creating a permanent protective layer. Wax sits on top and washes away in weeks or months. It’s the difference between a shield and a temporary cover. Wax needs constant reapplication—every few months for cars, even more frequently for boats in saltwater. Ceramic coating is applied once and protects for years. The hydrophobic properties are dramatically better, the gloss is deeper, and the scratch resistance is incomparable. For luxury vehicles and yachts, wax simply isn’t adequate protection. The UV exposure, environmental contaminants, and value of your assets require permanent protection that only professional ceramic coating provides.

Can ceramic coating be applied to both paint and gelcoat surfaces?

Yes, but different surfaces require different coating formulations and application techniques. Automotive paint, marine gelcoat, stainless steel, and other materials each have unique bonding requirements. We use marine-specific coatings for boats that are formulated for gelcoat surfaces and saltwater exposure. These coatings are thicker and contain more carrier solvents to properly bond with harder marine surfaces. Automotive coatings are optimized for clear coat and paint chemistry. The application process also varies. Marine coatings may require different cure times, temperature control, and prep procedures. This is why professional application matters—using the wrong coating or technique can result in poor bonding, reduced durability, or even surface damage.

Is ceramic coating worth the investment for high-value vehicles?

For luxury cars and yachts, ceramic coating isn’t just worth it—it’s essential protection for your investment. Consider the alternative costs: professional detailing every month, paint correction every few years, or complete repainting on marine vessels every 5-7 years. Ceramic coating eliminates most of those costs while maintaining your asset’s condition and value. A properly maintained coated vehicle looks showroom-fresh for years with minimal effort. For resale value, this protection is significant. The math is simple: ceramic coating costs a fraction of what you’d spend on constant maintenance or major refinishing work. Plus, you get peace of mind knowing your investment is protected against environmental damage that can be expensive or impossible to reverse.

What maintenance is required after ceramic coating application?

Maintenance becomes dramatically simpler with ceramic coating. Regular washing with pH-neutral soap and water is usually sufficient. The hydrophobic surface means contaminants wash away easily without aggressive scrubbing or harsh chemicals. For automotive applications, avoid automatic car washes with brushes and use proper wash techniques to maintain the coating. For marine applications, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and use marine-specific maintenance products when needed. Annual inspections help identify any areas that might need attention. Professional maintenance products can enhance and extend the coating’s performance. The key is that maintenance becomes preventive rather than corrective—you’re preserving protection rather than constantly fighting damage.

How do I know if my ceramic coating was applied correctly?

Proper ceramic coating application shows immediate visual results—deep gloss, perfect water beading, and uniform coverage without streaks or high spots. The surface should feel incredibly smooth and look mirror-like. Water should bead into tight spheres and roll off easily. Dirt and contaminants should rinse away with minimal effort. If you see streaking, poor water behavior, or areas where protection seems inconsistent, the application wasn’t done correctly. Professional application includes documentation of the process, care instructions, and realistic performance expectations. We provide before and after photos, explain what you should expect, and stand behind our work. Poor coating jobs are often obvious within weeks—professional applications maintain their properties for years.
