You’ve invested serious money in your vehicle or vessel. Now it sits exposed to salt air, UV rays, and road debris that slowly destroy what you’ve worked to build.
Traditional wax lasts a few months before you’re back to square one. Ceramic coating changes that equation completely. We’re talking 4-6 times longer protection than conventional methods, with a finish that repels water, dirt, and contaminants like nothing you’ve experienced.
Your asset maintains its value. Your time stays yours instead of being spent on constant maintenance. That’s what real protection looks like.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been protecting high-value assets in the North Bay Shore area because we understand what drives collectors and enthusiasts. This isn’t about quick fixes or cheap alternatives.
Long Island’s salt air and harsh weather conditions demand professional-grade solutions. We’ve seen too many beautiful vehicles and vessels damaged by inadequate protection or improper application. That’s why we use only certified processes and advanced ceramic technology that actually works in our local environment.
Your exotic car or luxury yacht represents more than transportation—it’s craftsmanship, passion, and investment rolled into one. We treat it that way.
Real ceramic coating isn’t something you spray on and walk away. It’s a multi-stage process that determines whether you get years of protection or expensive disappointment.
First, we assess your vehicle’s current condition. Any existing damage, oxidation, or imperfections get addressed through professional paint correction—because ceramic coating locks in whatever condition exists underneath. Next comes the meticulous surface preparation that removes every trace of contamination.
The coating application itself happens in controlled conditions using professional-grade products. We’re talking about nanotechnology that bonds at the molecular level, creating a protective barrier that’s 5 times stronger than your vehicle’s original clear coat. The final cure creates that deep, mirror-like finish you’ve been looking for.

Your ceramic coating package includes complete paint correction to eliminate swirl marks and oxidation, professional-grade coating application with graphene technology, and a hydrophobic finish that makes cleaning effortless.
North Bay Shore’s marine environment presents unique challenges. Salt air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that would compromise lesser treatments don’t affect properly applied ceramic coatings. The molecular bond we create actually strengthens over time, providing UV protection that prevents fading and oxidation that destroys paint and gelcoat.
This isn’t a temporary fix. You’re looking at years of protection that maintains your asset’s appearance and resale value while dramatically reducing maintenance time and costs.
Professional-grade ceramic coating lasts 4-6 times longer than traditional wax, typically providing 2-5 years of protection depending on conditions and maintenance. Unlike wax that breaks down in months, ceramic coating creates a permanent molecular bond with your paint or gelcoat.
The longevity depends on environmental exposure and care. Vehicles stored in climate-controlled environments and properly maintained can see protection lasting up to 10 years. Marine applications face harsher conditions but still deliver 3-5 years of superior protection compared to conventional marine waxes that require constant reapplication.
Ceramic coating prevents oxidation, UV damage, salt corrosion, and contamination that destroy paint and gelcoat over time. Your asset maintains its original appearance and value instead of deteriorating from environmental exposure.
Professional-grade ceramic coatings contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and require trained application techniques. Store-bought products are diluted versions that provide minimal protection and often fail within months.
The preparation process makes the biggest difference. Professional application includes complete paint correction, contamination removal, and controlled environment application. DIY products skip these critical steps, which means you’re essentially waxing over existing problems. Professional coatings also come with warranties and performance guarantees that consumer products can’t match.
The investment difference pays for itself through longevity and results. Professional coating lasts years while store products need constant reapplication.
Yes, but marine applications require specialized formulations designed for saltwater exposure and harsh marine environments. Standard automotive ceramic coatings aren’t formulated to handle the unique challenges boats and yachts face.
Marine ceramic coatings include enhanced UV protection, superior salt resistance, and anti-fouling properties that automotive coatings lack. The application process also differs because gelcoat and marine paint have different porosity and surface characteristics than automotive paint.
We use different products and techniques for automotive versus marine applications to ensure optimal performance in each environment. Both provide superior protection, but the formulations are specifically engineered for their intended use.
Ceramic coating dramatically reduces maintenance requirements but doesn’t eliminate them entirely. The hydrophobic properties mean dirt and contaminants don’t bond to the surface, making washing much easier and less frequent.
What used to require heavy scrubbing now rinses off with minimal effort. Many owners find they can maintain their vehicle’s appearance with simple water rinses between detailed cleanings. However, regular maintenance still extends the coating’s life and keeps your asset looking its best.
The coating protects against damage during washing too. You’re less likely to create swirl marks or scratches during maintenance because contaminants sit on the surface rather than bonding to the paint.
Paint correction addresses existing damage before ceramic coating application. Swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections must be removed first because ceramic coating locks in whatever condition exists underneath.
Our paint correction process uses professional compounds and techniques to restore your paint to like-new condition. This might involve multiple stages of cutting and polishing depending on the damage severity. Only after achieving a flawless surface do we apply the ceramic coating.
Attempting to coat over existing damage is a waste of money. The imperfections remain visible and the coating can’t perform properly over compromised surfaces. Proper preparation ensures you get the full benefit of your investment.
For luxury cars and yachts, ceramic coating pays for itself through value preservation and reduced maintenance costs. High-end assets depreciate rapidly when their appearance deteriorates, making protection essential for maintaining resale value.
The cost of professional ceramic coating is minimal compared to paint restoration, gelcoat repair, or depreciation from environmental damage. You’re also saving countless hours of maintenance time over the coating’s lifetime. Many owners find the convenience factor alone justifies the investment.
Consider what your asset is worth and what it costs to restore damaged paint or gelcoat. Professional ceramic coating prevents that damage from occurring in the first place, making it one of the smartest investments you can make in your vehicle’s long-term value and appearance.
