Hear from Our Customers
You didn’t buy an ordinary vehicle, so why settle for ordinary care? Your exotic car, luxury yacht, or vintage collectible represents more than transportation—it’s a statement, an investment, and often a passion project that demands respect.
After our detailing service, you’ll see the difference immediately. Paint that gleams like liquid glass. Interior surfaces that feel and smell like new. Protection that shields your investment from Montauk’s salt air, UV rays, and daily wear.
This isn’t about making your car “clean enough.” It’s about maintaining showroom condition that preserves value and turns heads every time you drive through the Hamptons.
We at Legacy Motors and Marine have been serving discerning vehicle owners across the East End for years, specializing in the kind of precision care that luxury vehicles demand. Based in Port Jefferson Station, we understand what it means to own something exceptional.
Montauk’s coastal environment presents unique challenges—salt air, sand, and intense summer sun can wreak havoc on even the finest finishes. We’ve built our reputation by protecting high-end assets from these exact conditions.
Whether you’re a year-round Montauk resident or spend summers at your East End estate, your vehicles face the same environmental stressors that can diminish their value and appearance without proper care.
First, we conduct a thorough assessment of your vehicle’s condition, noting any areas that need special attention—from paint imperfections to interior wear. This isn’t a quick once-over; we’re looking at everything from ground clearance concerns to battery health.
Next comes the detailed work. Paint correction removes swirl marks and minor scratches that dull your finish. We use multi-stage polishing techniques that restore depth and clarity before applying any protective coatings. Interior surfaces get deep cleaning and conditioning that goes beyond what you’d get at a typical car wash.
Finally, we apply advanced ceramic coating technology that creates a protective barrier against UV rays, salt air, and everyday contaminants. This isn’t just about shine—it’s about creating a hydrophobic surface that makes future cleaning easier while providing years of protection. You’ll drive away knowing your investment is truly protected.

Living in Montauk means your vehicles face unique challenges. The salt air that makes those ocean views so spectacular also accelerates corrosion and paint damage. Summer sun reflecting off sand and water intensifies UV exposure. Even the most careful owners find their vehicles showing wear from these environmental factors.
Our ceramic coating service creates a molecular bond with your vehicle’s clear coat, forming a protective layer that’s significantly harder than factory paint. This barrier repels water, resists scratches, and blocks UV rays that cause fading and oxidation. For Montauk vehicle owners, this isn’t luxury—it’s necessity.
We also offer paint protection film for high-impact areas, interior ceramic coatings for leather and fabric surfaces, and specialized treatments for wheels and glass. Whether you’re protecting a weekend Ferrari or maintaining a daily driver Mercedes, every service is tailored to preserve your investment against East End conditions.
Quality ceramic coatings typically last 2-5 years, but Montauk’s salt air and intense UV exposure can affect longevity. Our advanced formulations are specifically chosen for coastal conditions and include enhanced UV protection properties.
The key is proper preparation and professional application. We ensure your paint is perfectly clean and corrected before applying the coating, which allows it to bond properly and achieve maximum durability. Most of our Montauk clients see excellent protection for 3-4 years with proper maintenance.
Regular maintenance washing with pH-neutral products helps extend the coating’s life. We provide specific care instructions and can recommend maintenance schedules based on how often you drive and where you store your vehicle.
Yes, but the extent depends on how long the damage has been present. Surface-level salt residue and light corrosion can often be completely removed through our paint correction process, which includes claying, polishing, and multi-stage correction.
For deeper damage, we assess each case individually. Minor pitting and early-stage corrosion can usually be minimized significantly, though complete removal isn’t always possible if the damage has penetrated through the clear coat to the paint layer.
The best approach is prevention through regular cleaning and protective coatings. But even if damage has occurred, our correction process can often restore much of your paint’s original appearance before applying protective treatments to prevent future issues.
Yes, we provide mobile detailing throughout the Montauk area for clients who prefer the convenience of on-site service. Our mobile unit is fully self-contained with its own water supply and power, so we don’t need access to your utilities.
However, certain services like ceramic coating application require controlled environmental conditions that are best achieved in our climate-controlled facility. We’ll discuss which services can be performed on-site versus which require facility work during your consultation.
For most maintenance detailing, paint correction, and interior services, mobile is an excellent option that saves you time while providing the same quality results. We schedule mobile services to work around your schedule, whether you’re at home, the marina, or your office.
Our focus on exotic and luxury vehicles sets us apart. We understand the specific needs of high-end cars, from proper lifting techniques for low-clearance supercars to specialized products for unique paint finishes and interior materials.
We’re also one of the few services that combines professional detailing with secure, climate-controlled storage options. Many of our clients appreciate being able to store and maintain their vehicles in the same location with the same trusted team.
Our technicians receive ongoing training in the latest ceramic coating technologies and paint correction techniques. We use only premium products designed for luxury vehicles, and every service includes a thorough inspection to catch potential issues before they become expensive problems. This level of attention simply isn’t available from typical car washes or general detailing services.
For vehicles regularly exposed to Montauk’s coastal environment, we typically recommend full detailing every 3-4 months during the active season, with maintenance washes every 2-3 weeks. Cars stored in garages or driven less frequently can extend these intervals.
The key factors are exposure to salt air, how often you drive, and where you park. Vehicles parked outdoors near the ocean need more frequent attention than those in climate-controlled storage. We also consider your vehicle’s value and how important maintaining pristine condition is to you.
During your first service, we’ll assess your vehicle’s condition and usage patterns to recommend a personalized maintenance schedule. Many clients find that regular maintenance actually reduces costs over time by preventing damage that requires expensive correction later.
Ceramic coating provides excellent protection against sand abrasion and makes cleaning beach residue much easier. The hydrophobic properties mean sand and salt rinse off more readily, reducing the scrubbing that can cause swirl marks and scratches.
However, ceramic coating isn’t armor—it won’t prevent damage from flying rocks or deep scratches from dragging objects across the surface. For maximum protection in beach environments, many clients combine ceramic coating with paint protection film on high-impact areas like the front bumper, hood, and side mirrors.
The coating also makes post-beach cleanup much faster and safer. Instead of aggressive scrubbing to remove salt and sand, a gentle rinse often removes most contaminants. This reduces the risk of scratching your paint during cleaning, which is especially important for dark-colored or soft-paint vehicles.
