When you drive away from Legacy Motors and Marine, your vehicle doesn’t just look clean—it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor yesterday. Our paint correction removes years of swirl marks and micro-scratches that dull your finish.
The ceramic coating we apply bonds directly to your paint, creating a glass-like protective layer that amplifies depth and gloss while making future cleaning effortless. Your investment stays protected, your paint stays flawless, and you get the kind of results that make people ask where you had your car detailed.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving Noyack and the greater Long Island area with premium vehicle care that matches the caliber of assets we protect. We’re not a high-volume shop churning through cars—we work by appointment only because every vehicle deserves individual attention.
Our climate-controlled facility in nearby Port Jefferson Station was built specifically for collectors, enthusiasts, and owners who understand that proper vehicle care is an investment, not an expense. When Long Island’s luxury vehicle owners need detailing that actually preserves value, they come to us.
We start with a thorough decontamination to remove embedded contaminants that regular washing can’t touch. Next comes paint correction—this is where we remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation using specialized machine polishers and compounds.
The process involves carefully removing microscopic layers of clear coat until your paint is perfectly smooth and defect-free. Finally, we apply your choice of protection—whether that’s a premium sealant or multi-year ceramic coating—to lock in the results and make maintenance easier going forward. Every step is performed in our controlled environment to ensure flawless results.

Our full-service detailing covers everything from high-performance sports cars to vintage collectibles and luxury yachts. Paint correction removes up to 95% of surface defects, while our ceramic coatings come with warranties up to 7 years.
For Noyack’s discerning vehicle owners, we offer specialized services like swirl removal, oxidation correction, and showroom-ready finishing. Commercial fleet owners appreciate our hand wash services that keep every vehicle looking professional and presentable. Whether you’re preparing a collector car for show or maintaining a daily driver that needs to look perfect, our services are designed to exceed the expectations of Long Island’s most particular vehicle owners.
Paint correction typically takes 1-3 days depending on your vehicle’s size and condition. A single-stage correction for light swirl marks might be completed in one day, while extensive multi-stage correction for heavily damaged paint requires more time.
We never rush the process because proper paint correction can’t be hurried. Each step—from decontamination to final polishing—needs adequate time to achieve the flawless results you’re paying for. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after inspecting your vehicle’s specific needs.
Wax provides temporary protection that lasts 2-3 months and mainly adds shine. Ceramic coating creates a permanent chemical bond with your paint that lasts 2-7 years depending on the product.
Ceramic coating acts like a glass layer over your paint—it’s harder, more durable, and provides superior protection against UV rays, chemical stains, and environmental contaminants. While wax masks imperfections temporarily, ceramic coating enhances and amplifies your paint’s natural depth and gloss permanently. For luxury vehicles, ceramic coating is the clear choice for long-term protection.
Paint correction can remove about 90-95% of surface defects, including swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and water spots. However, it only works on damage within the clear coat layer.
Deep scratches that go through to the base paint or metal require body shop repair and repainting. The good news is that most visible defects—the ones that make your paint look dull or swirled—are in the clear coat and can be completely eliminated through proper correction. We’ll assess your paint’s condition and tell you exactly what’s possible before starting any work.
Absolutely. Vintage and collectible vehicles require specialized knowledge and extra care, which is exactly what we provide. These vehicles often have unique paint systems, delicate finishes, or irreplaceable surfaces that demand expert handling.
Our experience with high-end vehicles means we understand how to work with different paint types, from single-stage paints on classic cars to modern multi-layer systems. We take extra precautions with collectibles, including paint thickness measurements and conservative correction approaches that preserve originality while enhancing appearance. Many collectors trust us specifically because we treat their investments with the respect they deserve.
Professional detailing investment varies based on your vehicle’s size, condition, and the services you choose. Basic exterior detailing starts around $200, while comprehensive paint correction and ceramic coating packages range from $800-2500.
The key is understanding that quality detailing is an investment in your vehicle’s value and appearance. Proper paint correction can increase resale value by up to 20%, and ceramic coating eliminates the need for frequent waxing while providing years of protection. We’ll provide a detailed quote after assessing your specific needs—no surprises, just transparent pricing for professional results.
Luxury vehicles should receive professional detailing every 3-6 months, depending on usage and storage conditions. Vehicles stored in climate-controlled environments need less frequent service than those parked outside daily.
However, the frequency depends more on your standards than strict rules. Some collectors have their show cars detailed before every event, while daily drivers might need quarterly service to maintain their appearance. With ceramic coating, maintenance becomes easier and less frequent since the coating provides ongoing protection and makes washing more effective. We’ll recommend a schedule based on how you use your vehicle and your appearance goals.
