Hear from Our Customers
You’ll drive away with flawless paint, protection that lasts years, and confidence that your investment is properly maintained. No more worrying about swirl marks, faded clear coat, or damage from Long Island’s harsh seasonal elements.
Our multi-stage paint correction removes every imperfection while advanced ceramic coating creates an invisible molecular shield. This isn’t just cleaning—it’s preservation-grade protection that maintains showroom condition against UV rays, road salt, and daily wear.
When you choose expertise over convenience and quality over quick fixes, this is what you get.
Legacy Motors and Marine built our reputation on one principle: your vehicle deserves the same precision and respect you’d expect from a museum curator. We specialize in exotic cars, luxury vehicles, and vintage collectibles—investments that demand expertise, not guesswork.
Located in Greenlawn, we understand what Long Island drivers face daily. Pebble-riddled highways, aggressive road salt, intense UV exposure, and seasonal weather changes that destroy paint and diminish value. That’s why we use only premium products and proven techniques.
Every vehicle receives the same meticulous attention, whether it’s your daily driver or your weekend showpiece. Because quality doesn’t change based on price point.
First, we assess your vehicle’s condition and discuss your specific needs—paint correction, ceramic coating, or complete restoration. No surprises, no upselling, just honest evaluation of what your vehicle actually needs.
Next comes the detailed work. Paint correction removes swirls, scratches, and oxidation using progressive polishing techniques. We work panel by panel, ensuring every section receives proper attention. For ceramic coating applications, we prepare the surface to perfection before applying the protective layer.
Finally, we walk you through the completed work, explaining maintenance recommendations and what to expect from your protection package. You leave knowing exactly how to preserve the investment you just made in your vehicle.

Our auto detailing services range from professional hand washes to complete paint restoration. Paint correction addresses swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation that rob your vehicle of its original depth and clarity. Ceramic coating provides up to 10 years of protection against environmental damage.
Interior detailing covers every surface—leather conditioning, fabric protection, dashboard restoration, and thorough cleaning that eliminates odors and stains. We also offer paint protection film for high-impact areas and precision window tinting for comfort and privacy.
Greenlawn’s location creates unique challenges for vehicle owners. Salt air from nearby coastal areas, aggressive winter road treatments, and heavy traffic on Route 25A and Northern State Parkway all take their toll. Our services specifically combat these local conditions while maintaining that pristine appearance you expect from a quality detail.
Quality ceramic coating lasts 5-10 years depending on the product grade and maintenance routine. In Greenlawn’s climate, you’re dealing with road salt in winter, intense UV exposure in summer, and environmental contaminants year-round that challenge any protection system.
Professional-grade ceramic coatings create a molecular bond with your paint that withstands these conditions far better than traditional wax or sealants. The key is proper surface preparation—any existing damage must be corrected first, or you’re essentially sealing in imperfections permanently.
We use only proven ceramic coating systems with documented longevity. Proper application and initial curing are critical, which is why we recommend avoiding automatic car washes for the first two weeks after application to ensure maximum durability.
Paint correction is a systematic process that permanently removes defects from your paint’s surface—swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections. Regular polishing is often just surface-level cleaning that temporarily masks problems without actually fixing them.
True paint correction involves multiple stages using progressively finer abrasives. We start with cutting compounds to remove deeper defects, then move to polishing compounds for refinement, and finish with ultra-fine polishes for that mirror-like gloss. Each stage is carefully controlled to remove only what’s necessary while preserving paint thickness.
The difference is permanent results. Paint correction actually restores your paint’s original depth and clarity, while regular polishing provides temporary improvement that disappears after a few washes. It’s the difference between fixing the problem and hiding it.
We offer both mobile and facility-based services depending on the work required. Basic detailing, hand washes, and some protection services can be performed at your location with our fully equipped mobile units that bring water, power, and professional tools.
Complex paint correction and ceramic coating applications are performed at our climate-controlled facility where we can control environmental factors that affect results. Temperature, humidity, and airborne contaminants all impact the quality of advanced detailing services.
For Greenlawn residents, we provide convenient pickup and delivery service for facility-based work. This ensures you get the convenience you want with the quality results that require controlled conditions—the best of both worlds.
Long Island’s seasonal changes require different maintenance schedules for optimal vehicle protection. During winter months with road salt exposure, we recommend monthly maintenance washes to prevent corrosive damage that can permanently affect metal and paint surfaces.
Spring requires thorough cleaning to remove accumulated salt and debris, plus inspection for any damage that occurred during winter months. Summer brings UV exposure and increased driving, so quarterly protection services help maintain your vehicle’s appearance and prevent oxidation.
Vehicles with ceramic coating require less frequent intensive cleaning—typically every 3-4 months for maintenance details. Without protection, you’re looking at monthly services to prevent permanent damage from Long Island’s aggressive environmental exposure. The investment in protection pays for itself in reduced maintenance needs.
Paint correction can remove most surface-level scratches and virtually all swirl marks, but results depend on damage depth and your paint’s remaining thickness. We use paint thickness gauges to ensure safe correction limits that won’t compromise your clear coat.
Light scratches that don’t catch your fingernail typically come out completely with proper technique. Deeper scratches may be significantly reduced but might not disappear entirely without aggressive correction that could damage your paint. Rock chips and scratches through the paint to primer require touch-up work before correction.
The goal isn’t always 100% perfection—it’s achieving the best possible results while preserving your paint’s integrity for long-term durability. We’ll show you realistic expectations during the initial assessment so you know exactly what to expect from the process.
Complete interior detailing addresses every surface inside your vehicle with appropriate products for each material type. We start with thorough vacuuming of all areas, including under seats, between cushions, and in crevices where debris accumulates over time.
All surfaces receive targeted treatment—leather cleaner and conditioner for leather surfaces, fabric protector for cloth materials, and specialized cleaners for vinyl and plastic components. Dashboard, door panels, and trim receive careful attention with UV protectants that prevent cracking and fading.
We remove stains where possible, treat odors at their source rather than masking them, and apply protection to prevent future damage from UV exposure and general wear. Interior and exterior windows are cleaned for crystal clarity, and we finish with appropriate protectants that maintain that fresh appearance for months.
