Hear from Our Customers
You stop worrying about your paint. Our ceramic and graphene coatings create molecular-level protection that laughs at salt air, UV rays, and everything else Ponquogue throws at luxury vehicles.
Washing becomes something you enjoy instead of stress about. Water sheets off like your car is hydrophobic, and that deep gloss stays put month after month.
Your investment holds its value while others fade. When ceramic coating is done right, your vehicle maintains showroom condition regardless of age or mileage.
Legacy Motors and Marine specializes in protecting the kind of vehicles that can’t afford compromises. In Ponquogue’s demanding coastal environment, standard protection simply doesn’t cut it.
We’ve earned our reputation by delivering results that match the caliber of vehicles we protect. Every Ferrari, yacht, and collector car receives the same obsessive attention to detail that we’d demand for our own prized possessions.
Our climate-controlled facility eliminates variables that compromise coating performance. Our certified technicians apply only professional-grade products we trust with quarter-million-dollar paint jobs.
Surface preparation determines everything that follows. We remove every contaminant, correct every imperfection, and achieve molecular-level cleanliness before any coating touches your paint.
Application happens in our controlled environment where temperature, humidity, and contamination can’t interfere with curing. Multiple coating layers build the protection system, with proper cure times between each application.
Quality verification ensures every square inch meets our standards before handover. You receive detailed care instructions and our commitment to long-term performance backed by comprehensive warranty coverage.

Our coating options include traditional ceramic formulations and cutting-edge graphene technology. Graphene coatings excel in Ponquogue’s intense summer heat, dissipating thermal stress that breaks down conventional protection.
Marine applications receive specialized attention with salt-resistant formulations designed for harsh coastal exposure. These advanced coatings provide up to 18 months of reliable protection where standard products fail within weeks.
Paint protection film integration creates comprehensive defense systems for high-impact areas. Our concierge pickup and delivery service ensures your valuable time stays focused on what matters most to you.
Professional ceramic coating typically provides 2-5 years of protection on automotive applications, while advanced graphene formulations can deliver up to 7 years of performance with proper maintenance. The specific lifespan depends on coating quality, application method, and environmental exposure.
Ponquogue’s coastal conditions present unique challenges with salt air and intense UV exposure that accelerate coating degradation. Our marine-specific ceramic formulations are engineered to withstand these harsh conditions, providing 18 months of robust protection before requiring reapplication.
We provide comprehensive maintenance protocols and offer annual inspection services to monitor coating performance throughout its service life, ensuring you get maximum value from your investment.
Graphene coating represents the latest advancement in paint protection technology, offering superior performance characteristics compared to traditional ceramic formulations. Graphene provides enhanced heat dissipation—critical for dark-colored surfaces in direct sunlight—and demonstrates improved resistance to water spotting and chemical etching.
Traditional ceramic coatings deliver proven durability and excellent value. They provide outstanding hydrophobic properties and UV protection at a lower initial investment, making them ideal for many applications where cost-effectiveness is important.
The choice depends on your specific requirements and budget. Graphene coatings typically cost 20-30% more than ceramic alternatives but offer performance advantages that justify the premium for owners demanding absolute best-in-class protection.
Ceramic coating provides excellent defense against minor scratches, swirl marks, and environmental contamination, but it’s not designed to stop rock chips or deep scratches from road debris. The coating creates a hard sacrificial layer that absorbs light impacts, but significant physical damage will still penetrate with sufficient force.
For comprehensive protection against road debris and impact damage, we recommend combining ceramic coating with paint protection film on vulnerable areas like front bumpers, hoods, and mirror caps. This layered approach delivers both chemical protection from ceramic coating and physical protection from the film.
Consider ceramic coating as your defense against daily wear and environmental damage, while paint protection film handles the more aggressive threats your vehicle encounters on the road.
Proper maintenance is essential for maximizing coating performance and lifespan. Use only pH-neutral wash products and avoid automatic car washes with harsh chemicals or abrasive equipment. We recommend the two-bucket wash method with high-quality microfiber mitts to minimize scratch risk.
Regular maintenance washes every two weeks prevent contamination buildup that compromises hydrophobic properties. Remove aggressive contaminants like bird droppings or tree sap immediately using appropriate products—never allow them to sit and potentially etch the coating surface.
Every coating application includes a complete maintenance kit with products specifically formulated for your coating system. Annual performance inspections allow us to assess coating condition and recommend any necessary maintenance procedures to ensure optimal performance.
Even vehicles in ideal storage conditions benefit significantly from ceramic coating protection. While climate control eliminates temperature fluctuations and humidity concerns, vehicles still face contamination from dust accumulation, handling, and occasional exposure during use.
Ceramic coating dramatically simplifies routine maintenance and preservation. Dust removal becomes effortless, and the enhanced gloss and color depth remain consistent regardless of storage conditions. For collectors and enthusiasts, coating provides additional peace of mind protecting their investment.
The convenience factor often justifies the investment alone. Coated vehicles require less frequent detailing intervention, and when cleaning becomes necessary, the process is faster and more rewarding. For high-value vehicles, this protection represents smart asset management.
Comprehensive surface preparation is absolutely critical for achieving optimal coating adhesion and longevity. The process begins with thorough decontamination removing embedded particles, road tar, and industrial fallout that conventional washing cannot eliminate. We employ specialized clay bar techniques and chemical decontamination products for this stage.
Paint correction follows decontamination, addressing swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation present on the surface. This step ensures coating bonds to a perfectly smooth, defect-free foundation. Skipping paint correction means permanently preserving existing imperfections under the coating.
Final preparation involves panel wiping with isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining residues and achieve perfect surface cleanliness. Only then can coating application begin in our controlled environment. This comprehensive preparation process typically requires 1-2 days depending on vehicle condition, but it’s absolutely essential for achieving professional results that endure.
