Hear from Our Customers
You’ll drive away with paint that’s deeper, cleaner, and more protected than when you first bought it. Our ceramic coating and paint correction services don’t just clean—they restore and enhance.
The difference shows immediately. Your car’s finish reflects light like glass, water beads and rolls off effortlessly, and that showroom shine stays consistent for months. More importantly, you’re protecting your investment from Water Mill’s coastal salt air, UV damage, and daily wear that quietly destroys paint value over time.
This isn’t about making your car look good for a week. You’re getting protection that maintains your vehicle’s resale value and keeps it looking exceptional with minimal effort from you.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving Water Mill’s discerning vehicle owners who understand that their cars, boats, and motorcycles represent more than transportation—they’re investments worth protecting properly.
Our facility in Port Jefferson Station was built specifically for collectors, enthusiasts, and owners who expect more than basic car wash services. We work with the luxury vehicles, exotic cars, and high-performance machines that define Water Mill’s automotive landscape.
You’ll find us treating your vehicle with the same care and precision we’d want for our own. That’s why Hamptons luxury dealerships, real estate agencies, and commercial fleets trust us with their most valuable assets.
First, we perform a complete assessment of your vehicle’s condition, identifying any paint imperfections, interior wear, or protection needs. This isn’t a quick look-over—we’re mapping out exactly what your car needs to reach its full potential.
Next comes the detailed cleaning and preparation phase. We remove every trace of contamination, from embedded brake dust to microscopic particles that dull your paint. This deep cleaning creates the perfect foundation for any protective treatments.
Finally, we apply the specific services your vehicle needs—whether that’s paint correction to eliminate swirl marks, ceramic coating for long-term protection, or interior restoration to bring back that new-car feel. You get your vehicle back looking better than the day you bought it, with protection that lasts.

Our auto detailing services include everything from basic maintenance washes to complete paint correction and ceramic coating applications. We handle high-performance cars, luxury sedans, exotic sports cars, and vintage collectibles that require specialized attention.
Water Mill’s coastal environment presents unique challenges for vehicle owners. Salt air accelerates corrosion, intense summer sun fades paint, and seasonal weather changes demand year-round protection strategies. Our ceramic coatings provide up to 10 years of protection against these specific local conditions.
We also service commercial fleets and provide hand wash services for businesses that need their vehicles representing their brand properly. Whether you’re maintaining a single exotic car or managing a fleet of luxury vehicles, we have the expertise and equipment to deliver consistent, professional results.
Professional-grade ceramic coatings typically last 5-10 years depending on the specific product and your vehicle’s exposure to elements. In Water Mill’s coastal environment, we recommend premium ceramic coatings that specifically resist salt air corrosion and UV damage.
The longevity also depends on your vehicle’s usage and maintenance. Cars stored in climate-controlled environments and driven occasionally will see longer coating life than daily drivers. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the coating system that makes the most sense for your investment and driving habits.
Quality matters significantly here. Professional application with proper paint preparation ensures maximum durability and performance compared to DIY products that may fail within months.
Paint correction removes imperfections that regular detailing can’t address—swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation, and embedded contamination that dulls your paint’s finish. It’s a multi-step process using specialized compounds and polishing techniques to restore your paint to like-new condition.
Regular detailing focuses on cleaning and basic protection, while paint correction actually repairs and restores your paint’s surface. This is especially important for luxury and exotic vehicles where paint quality and appearance directly impact value.
Most vehicles benefit from paint correction before applying ceramic coating or paint protection film. The correction creates a flawless surface that allows protective products to bond properly and perform at their maximum effectiveness.
Yes, we provide mobile detailing services throughout Water Mill and the surrounding Hamptons area. Our mobile units come fully equipped with everything needed to deliver the same quality results you’d get at our facility.
Mobile service is particularly popular with our Water Mill clients who prefer the convenience of having their vehicles detailed at their estate or office. We bring our own water, power, and professional-grade equipment, so you don’t need to provide anything.
Scheduling is flexible to work around your calendar, whether you need regular maintenance detailing or a one-time service before a special event. We handle everything from basic wash and wax to complete paint correction and ceramic coating application on-site.
Water Mill’s coastal location and seasonal weather patterns create specific challenges for luxury vehicle maintenance. We typically recommend full detailing every 3-4 months for vehicles driven regularly, with maintenance washes monthly during peak summer season.
Vehicles with ceramic coating require less frequent detailing—often just 2-3 times per year for comprehensive service. The coating’s protective properties mean your car stays cleaner longer and requires less intensive cleaning when you do service it.
Seasonal factors matter too. Spring detailing removes winter salt and grime, summer service protects against UV damage and beach sand, and fall preparation helps protect against harsh weather. We’ll create a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your specific vehicle and usage patterns.
We specialize in high-end and exotic vehicles that require more than standard car wash services. Our facility was designed specifically for collectors and enthusiasts who need precision work and specialized knowledge of luxury automotive finishes.
Our technicians understand the unique requirements of different paint types, from traditional clear coats to exotic finishes found on limited-edition vehicles. We use professional-grade products and techniques that many general detailing services don’t offer.
You’ll also find we’re trusted by Hamptons luxury dealerships and high-end vehicle owners who can’t afford to take chances with their investments. Our reputation is built on delivering consistent, exceptional results for vehicles that demand the highest standards of care.
Absolutely. Vintage and collectible vehicles require specialized knowledge and techniques that differ significantly from modern car detailing. We understand the unique challenges of older paint systems, chrome work, and interior materials that need careful, expert handling.
Our approach varies based on each vehicle’s specific needs—some vintage paints require gentle hand washing and specialized products, while others can handle modern correction techniques. We assess each vehicle individually and develop a custom care plan that preserves its authenticity and value.
We also provide documentation of our work for insurance and appraisal purposes, which is often important for high-value collectibles. Many of our vintage car clients have been with us for years because they trust us to maintain their investments properly without compromising originality or value.
