You’ve invested in quality. Now protect it properly. Our ceramic coating creates a molecular bond with your paint that traditional wax simply can’t match.
Your car or yacht gets a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and contaminants while maintaining that deep, glossy finish you want. No more monthly waxing or worrying about UV damage destroying your paint.
The result? Years of protection that keeps your vehicle looking showroom-ready with minimal maintenance. Just rinse and go.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving discerning owners in Shoreham and throughout Long Island for years. We’re not just another detailing shop.
We understand that your exotic car or luxury yacht represents more than transportation—it’s a significant investment that deserves expert care. Our team specializes in premium protection solutions for collectors and enthusiasts who expect precision.
Located in Port Jefferson Station, we’ve built our reputation on treating every vehicle like it’s our own. When you trust us with your prized possession, you’re working with professionals who understand the nuances of luxury asset ownership.
First, we thoroughly inspect and prepare your vehicle’s surface. Any imperfections get corrected through our paint correction process to ensure a flawless base.
Next comes the ceramic coating application. We apply professional-grade coatings by hand, allowing the nanoparticles to bond at the molecular level with your paint or gelcoat. This creates a semi-permanent protective layer that becomes part of your vehicle’s surface.
Finally, we cure the coating properly and provide you with maintenance guidelines. The entire process takes time because we don’t cut corners—your investment deserves nothing less than perfection.

Living on Long Island means your vehicles face unique challenges. Salt air from the Sound, harsh winter conditions, and intense summer UV exposure all take their toll on traditional protection methods.
Our ceramic coatings are specifically chosen to handle these East Coast conditions. Whether it’s your weekend sports car or your yacht docked nearby, we provide protection that works in Shoreham’s maritime environment.
For automotive applications, we offer graphene coating options that provide enhanced durability and gloss retention. Marine ceramic coatings get special attention—we understand the demands of saltwater exposure and provide up to 18 months of protection with minimal maintenance required.
Professional ceramic coatings typically last 3-10 years depending on the product and maintenance. This is significantly longer than traditional waxes that only last a few months.
The longevity depends on several factors: the quality of the coating, proper surface preparation, and how well you maintain it afterward. Our professional-grade coatings create a molecular bond with your paint that doesn’t wash away like wax.
We provide specific maintenance guidelines to maximize your coating’s lifespan. With proper care, you can expect years of protection and that deep, glossy finish that makes your car look showroom-ready.
Marine ceramic coatings are formulated specifically to handle the harsh marine environment. Saltwater, constant moisture, and intense UV exposure require different protection than what your car faces on the road.
Marine coatings provide superior resistance to salt corrosion, oxidation, and water spotting. They also offer enhanced hydrophobic properties that help water and contaminants slide off easily, reducing the need for aggressive cleaning that could damage your boat’s finish.
For yachts and luxury boats, we use coatings that can last up to 18 months with minimal maintenance—often just a simple rinse after use. This is crucial for owners who want to spend time enjoying their vessel rather than constantly maintaining it.
Absolutely. When you’ve invested in a luxury car or yacht, ceramic coating isn’t just protection—it’s preservation of your investment’s value and appearance.
Consider the cost of paint correction, frequent detailing, or worse—having to repaint sections due to UV damage or environmental contamination. Quality ceramic coating prevents these issues while maintaining that showroom finish you want.
For exotic cars and luxury yachts, the coating also makes cleaning significantly easier. Dirt and contaminants don’t bond to the surface the same way, so maintenance becomes less frequent and less aggressive. Your investment stays protected and looking its best with minimal effort.
Proper surface preparation is crucial for ceramic coating success. We start with a thorough inspection to identify any paint imperfections, swirl marks, or oxidation that needs correction.
Next comes paint correction using professional-grade compounds and polishing techniques. We remove scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation to create a flawless base. This step is essential because ceramic coating will lock in whatever condition the paint is in underneath.
Finally, we decontaminate the surface completely, removing all polish residue and ensuring the surface is surgically clean. Only then do we apply the ceramic coating. This preparation process takes time, but it’s what separates professional application from DIY attempts.
Yes, but each application requires specific products and techniques. Automotive and marine environments present different challenges that require tailored solutions.
For cars, we focus on protection against road contaminants, UV damage, and weather conditions. The coating needs to handle temperature variations and provide long-term gloss retention for paint and clear coat surfaces.
Marine applications require coatings that resist saltwater corrosion, handle constant moisture exposure, and provide protection against marine growth and staining. We use marine-specific ceramic coatings that are formulated for gelcoat and marine paint systems. The application techniques also differ to account for the unique surface characteristics of boats and yachts.
Ceramic coating maintenance is much simpler than traditional protection methods, but it’s not maintenance-free. The key is using the right products and techniques to preserve the coating’s properties.
For washing, use pH-neutral soaps and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools. Microfiber towels and professional-grade wash mitts are essential. We provide specific product recommendations to ensure you’re not inadvertently damaging the coating.
Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes, and remove contaminants like bird droppings or tree sap as soon as possible. For marine applications, a simple rinse after each use is often sufficient. We also offer maintenance programs to ensure your coating continues performing at its best throughout its lifespan.
