The difference is immediately visible and long-lasting. Your luxury assets look better than showroom condition and stay that way through seasons of use.

About Legacy Motors & Marine

Automotive Marine Ceramic Protection

Complete Protection for Your Assets

Our ceramic coating services cover both luxury automotive and marine applications. For vehicles, we offer paint, wheel, trim, and interior protection using advanced graphene-enhanced formulations that provide superior durability and gloss. Marine applications receive specialized attention with coatings designed for gelcoat, fiberglass, and metal surfaces. These marine-grade formulations resist salt corrosion, UV damage, and the constant moisture exposure that destroys traditional protection methods. Mattituck’s location puts your assets at constant risk from salt air and UV exposure—conditions that rapidly degrade unprotected surfaces. Our professional-grade coatings are specifically chosen for Long Island’s challenging environment, providing reliable protection where others fail.

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

Professional ceramic coatings provide 5-10 years of protection when properly applied and maintained, compared to traditional wax that fails within weeks or months. The exact lifespan depends on the coating type, application quality, and environmental conditions. For automotive applications, expect 7-10 years of protection with proper maintenance. Marine applications typically see 3-5 years due to harsher saltwater conditions, but this still dramatically outperforms any wax or sealant. The key difference is molecular bonding—ceramic coatings actually bond to your paint or gelcoat at the molecular level, creating a permanent protective layer that can’t wash off or break down from UV exposure like traditional products.

What's the difference between automotive and marine ceramic coatings?

Marine ceramic coatings are specifically formulated to handle saltwater exposure, constant moisture, and more intense UV conditions. They contain additional anti-corrosion properties and are designed to bond effectively with gelcoat and fiberglass surfaces. Automotive coatings focus more on paint enhancement and protection from road contaminants, while marine coatings prioritize salt resistance and oxidation prevention. The application techniques also differ—marine coatings often require more extensive surface preparation due to the porous nature of gelcoat. Both provide hydrophobic properties and UV protection, but marine formulations are engineered for the unique challenges boats face. Using automotive coating on a yacht, or vice versa, won’t deliver optimal protection or longevity.

Can ceramic coating be applied over existing wax or sealants?

No, ceramic coating must be applied to a completely clean, decontaminated surface for proper bonding. Any existing wax, sealants, or polishing oils will prevent the coating from adhering correctly, leading to premature failure. We thoroughly remove all existing products through decontamination and surface preparation. This process includes clay bar treatment, chemical decontamination, and often paint correction to ensure the surface is perfect before coating application. This preparation step is crucial and often separates professional installations from DIY attempts. Proper surface prep ensures the coating bonds permanently and delivers its full protective benefits for years rather than months.

How much does professional ceramic coating cost for luxury vehicles?

Professional ceramic coating investment varies based on vehicle size, coating type, and required preparation work. Luxury cars typically range from $1,500-$5,000, while yachts depend on size and surface area—generally $3,000-$15,000 for most vessels. The cost reflects professional-grade materials, certified application expertise, and extensive preparation work. When you consider the protection lifespan and reduced maintenance costs, ceramic coating often pays for itself through preserved resale value and reduced detailing frequency. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific vehicle and protection needs. The investment in proper ceramic coating is significantly less than repainting or refinishing damaged surfaces later.

What maintenance is required after ceramic coating application?

Ceramic coating dramatically reduces maintenance requirements, but some care is still necessary to maximize lifespan. Regular washing with pH-neutral soap maintains the hydrophobic properties and prevents contaminant buildup. Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes, and don’t use wax or other products over the coating. For marine applications, regular freshwater rinses after saltwater exposure help maintain optimal performance. Most clients find they’re washing their vehicles half as often, and the process is much easier due to the self-cleaning properties. We provide specific maintenance guidelines and recommend products that won’t interfere with your coating’s performance.
