You know that feeling when your car looked perfect rolling off the lot. That deep, mirror-like finish that turned heads and made you proud to drive it. We bring that back—and then some.
Most detailing stops at surface clean. We go deeper. Paint correction removes those swirl marks and light scratches that dull your finish. Ceramic coating adds a protective layer that keeps dirt from sticking and makes washing effortless for months.
Your investment stays protected while looking better than the day you bought it. No more cringing at parking lot dings or worrying about Long Island’s harsh winters damaging your paint.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving Manorville and the surrounding Long Island area for years, specializing in premium vehicle care that goes beyond basic cleaning. We understand what it means to own something you’re proud of.
Located in Port Jefferson Station, we’ve built our reputation on treating every vehicle—from daily drivers to exotic collectibles—with the same level of precision and respect. Our climate-controlled facility and professional-grade equipment ensure your vehicle gets the care it deserves.
Manorville vehicle owners choose us because we don’t just clean cars. We preserve investments and restore pride in ownership.
First, we inspect your vehicle under specialized lighting to identify every imperfection—swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and contamination that regular washes miss. This tells us exactly what your paint needs.
Next comes decontamination and paint correction. We safely remove embedded contaminants and level the clear coat to eliminate defects. This isn’t about hiding problems with wax—we actually fix them using precise machine polishing techniques.
Finally, we apply protection that lasts. Whether it’s premium ceramic coating or paint protection film, we seal your newly perfected finish against future damage. You drive away with paint that looks better than new and stays that way longer.

Our full-service auto detailing covers every inch of your vehicle. Exterior services include paint correction, swirl removal, ceramic coating application, and paint protection film installation. Interior detailing involves deep cleaning, conditioning, and protection for all surfaces.
Manorville’s location on Long Island means your vehicle faces unique challenges—salt air from the coast, road salt in winter, and intense summer sun. Our services specifically address these local conditions with products and techniques proven to withstand Long Island’s demanding environment.
We also offer specialized services for high-performance and luxury vehicles, commercial fleet hand washing, and vintage car care. Each service uses professional-grade products and equipment that deliver results you can see and feel.
Paint correction timing depends on your vehicle’s size and condition. A single-stage correction on a sedan typically takes 4-6 hours, while multi-stage correction on larger vehicles or those with significant defects can take 8-12 hours.
We never rush the process. Each step requires proper curing time and careful inspection under our specialized lighting. This ensures we catch every imperfection and deliver the flawless finish you expect.
Most clients schedule paint correction over 1-2 days, allowing us to work methodically without compromising quality. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after inspecting your specific vehicle.
Ceramic coating provides excellent protection against light scratches, swirl marks, UV damage, and chemical etching from bird droppings or tree sap. It creates a harder surface that’s more resistant to minor damage than your factory clear coat.
However, ceramic coating isn’t bulletproof. Deep scratches from keys or major impacts will still damage your paint. Think of it as significantly reducing the daily wear your vehicle experiences, not eliminating all possible damage.
The real benefit shows over time—your paint stays cleaner longer, washes easier, and maintains that deep gloss for years instead of months. Combined with proper maintenance, ceramic coating dramatically extends your paint’s life and appearance.
Most vehicles benefit from professional detailing every 3-6 months, depending on usage and storage conditions. Daily drivers exposed to Long Island weather need more frequent attention than garage-kept weekend cars.
Paint correction isn’t needed regularly—typically once every 2-3 years or when you notice significant swirl marks. Ceramic coated vehicles can go longer between full details since the coating makes maintenance washing more effective.
We recommend monthly maintenance washes for ceramic coated vehicles and bi-monthly for traditional protection. This keeps your investment looking its best while preventing damage that requires expensive correction later.
We can remove or significantly reduce most surface-level scratches and swirl marks through professional paint correction. Scratches that haven’t penetrated through the clear coat respond excellently to our multi-stage polishing process.
Deep scratches that reach the base paint layer require different treatment—sometimes touch-up paint or panel repainting. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain exactly what’s possible before starting any work.
The key is realistic expectations. We can make dramatic improvements to your paint’s appearance, but some damage requires more extensive repair. Our goal is always maximum improvement while preserving your clear coat thickness for long-term protection.
Traditional wax provides 2-4 months of protection and requires frequent reapplication. It sits on top of your paint and washes away gradually. Ceramic coating chemically bonds to your clear coat and lasts 2-5 years with proper maintenance.
Ceramic coating offers superior protection against UV rays, chemicals, and light scratches. It also makes your paint more hydrophobic—water beads up and rolls off, taking dirt with it. This means easier washing and longer periods between details.
The upfront investment in ceramic coating pays off through reduced maintenance costs and better paint preservation. Instead of waxing every few months, you maintain the coating with specialized products that enhance rather than replace the protection.
Absolutely. High-performance and exotic vehicles are actually our specialty. We understand these cars require different techniques, products, and handling than standard vehicles. Our climate-controlled facility and specialized equipment meet the standards these investments deserve.
We’ve worked on everything from vintage Porsches to modern Lamborghinis, each requiring specific knowledge about paint types, materials, and care requirements. Our technicians are trained in the precise techniques needed for delicate finishes and expensive components.
Many exotic car owners choose us specifically because we treat their vehicles with the respect and expertise they require. We’re not just cleaning your car—we’re preserving a significant investment that deserves nothing less than professional care.
