Professional Ceramic Coating Huntington NY

Multi-Year Protection With Mirror-Like Finish

When you invest in ceramic coating, you’re getting years of protection that actually works. Your paint stays protected from UV damage, salt spray, and environmental contaminants that would otherwise cause fading and oxidation. The hydrophobic barrier we create means water, dirt, and grime slide right off. You’ll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your investment. Your vehicle maintains that deep, candy-like gloss that turns heads and preserves value. This isn’t temporary protection—it’s a semi-permanent shield that bonds at the molecular level with your clear coat, creating a harder, glossier surface than your original paint.

Ceramic Coating Specialists Huntington NY

Certified Expertise You Can Trust

Based in Port Jefferson Station, Legacy Motors and Marine has built our reputation on understanding what matters most to collectors and enthusiasts. We don’t just apply coatings—we preserve legacies. Our team brings decades of experience working specifically with luxury vehicles and marine vessels. We’re one of the few certified installers on Long Island trained in both automotive and marine ceramic coating applications. Huntington’s marine environment presents unique challenges. Salt air, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations demand professional-grade protection that consumer products simply can’t match. That’s why we use only the highest-quality ceramic and graphene coatings designed to withstand Long Island’s coastal conditions.

Ceramic Coating Process Huntington NY

Precision Application For Lasting Results

The difference between amateur and professional ceramic coating comes down to preparation and application technique. We start with thorough decontamination and paint correction to create the perfect foundation. Any existing scratches, swirl marks, or oxidation get addressed first—because ceramic coating seals in whatever’s underneath. Our multi-stage paint correction process removes imperfections and restores the deep gloss you remember from day one. The coating application happens in our climate-controlled environment to ensure proper curing. We apply thin, even layers that bond chemically with your clear coat. The result is a glass-like barrier that’s harder than your original paint and completely transparent. After curing, your vehicle gets a final inspection before we deliver it back in showroom-ready condition. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days depending on your vehicle’s current condition and the level of paint correction needed.

About Legacy Motors & Marine

Automotive Marine Ceramic Coating Huntington

Complete Protection For Cars And Yachts

Our ceramic coating services cover both automotive and marine applications because Long Island collectors often own both luxury cars and boats. We understand the specific challenges each environment presents. For automotive applications, we offer graphene-enhanced coatings that provide 5+ years of protection against road salt, UV damage, and environmental contaminants. These coatings maintain their hydrophobic properties even after hundreds of wash cycles. Marine ceramic coatings face harsher conditions—constant UV exposure, salt water, and temperature extremes. Our marine-grade formulations are specifically engineered for gelcoat and fiberglass surfaces, providing up to 18 months of protection that makes maintenance significantly easier. Huntington’s location on Long Island Sound means your vehicles face both road salt in winter and marine salt year-round. Our coating selections are chosen specifically for this dual-challenge environment, ensuring maximum durability regardless of how you use your investment.

How long does ceramic coating last on luxury cars in Huntington?

Professional-grade ceramic coatings typically last 2-5 years on automotive applications, depending on the specific product and your vehicle’s exposure. Graphene-enhanced coatings can provide protection for 5+ years with proper maintenance. The longevity depends on several factors including your vehicle’s storage conditions, how often it’s driven, and maintenance practices. Vehicles stored in climate-controlled environments like our facility tend to see longer coating life because they’re protected from temperature fluctuations and UV exposure when not in use. Regular maintenance with ceramic-safe products helps extend the coating’s effectiveness. We provide specific care instructions and can perform maintenance services to refresh the coating’s hydrophobic properties as needed.

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

Marine ceramic coatings are formulated specifically for the harsh conditions boats and yachts face. They have higher solids content to bond effectively with porous gelcoat surfaces and enhanced UV resistance for constant sun exposure. Automotive coatings are designed for clear coat surfaces and road conditions. While both provide hydrophobic protection, marine coatings must withstand salt water immersion, constant UV exposure, and temperature extremes that land vehicles rarely encounter. The application process also differs. Marine surfaces often require more extensive preparation due to oxidation and environmental damage. Our team is trained in both applications and selects the appropriate coating system based on your specific vehicle and usage patterns.

How much paint correction is needed before ceramic coating?

Paint correction requirements vary based on your vehicle’s current condition, but it’s typically 80-90% of the work involved in a professional ceramic coating job. The coating seals in whatever’s underneath, so any imperfections need addressing first. New vehicles might only need light polishing to remove dealer prep marks and minor swirls. Older vehicles or those with neglected paint may require multi-stage correction to remove scratches, oxidation, and restore proper gloss levels. We perform a thorough inspection before providing quotes because the level of correction needed directly impacts both time and cost. Our goal is complete transparency about what’s required to achieve the results you’re expecting from your ceramic coating investment.

Can ceramic coating be applied to both cars and boats?

Yes, but each requires specific coating formulations and application techniques. We’re one of the few Long Island facilities certified for both automotive and marine ceramic coating applications. Cars and boats face different environmental challenges. Automotive coatings excel at protecting against road salt, UV exposure, and daily driving conditions. Marine coatings are engineered for constant water exposure, salt spray, and the intense UV reflection off water surfaces. Our team evaluates each vehicle individually and selects the appropriate coating system. Many of our clients own both luxury cars and yachts, so we understand the importance of consistent protection standards across their entire collection.

What maintenance is required after ceramic coating application?

Ceramic coating dramatically reduces maintenance requirements, but it doesn’t eliminate them entirely. You’ll still need regular washing, but it becomes much easier and less frequent due to the hydrophobic properties. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, as these can damage the coating over time. Hand washing or touchless methods work best. We provide specific product recommendations for ceramic-safe soaps and maintenance products. Annual or bi-annual maintenance services can refresh the coating’s performance and extend its lifespan. These services typically involve decontamination and application of ceramic-compatible toppers that restore the hydrophobic properties and enhance gloss.

Why choose professional ceramic coating over DIY products?

Professional-grade coatings offer significantly better durability, protection, and results compared to consumer products. The difference comes down to formulation quality, preparation standards, and application expertise. Consumer ceramic coatings might provide 6 months of protection, while professional applications last years. Professional products also require specific environmental conditions and curing times that most people can’t replicate at home. The preparation process is equally important. Professional application includes thorough decontamination, paint correction, and proper surface preparation that ensures maximum coating adhesion and longevity. DIY applications over improperly prepared surfaces often fail within months.
