Hear from Our Customers
When you invest in high-performance vehicles, you expect results that match that level of quality. Our auto detailing process transforms your car into showroom condition while protecting your investment for years to come.
Every detail matters when you’re dealing with exotic cars, luxury vehicles, or collectible classics. You get paint correction that eliminates swirls and imperfections, ceramic coating protection that lasts up to 10 years, and interior care that preserves every surface.
The difference is visible immediately and measurable over time. Your vehicle maintains its value, looks immaculate, and requires less frequent maintenance because the protection we apply actually works.
Legacy Motors and Marine has built a reputation in Yaphank, NY for treating every vehicle like it’s our own. We specialize in the kind of meticulous care that collectors, enthusiasts, and luxury vehicle owners expect.
Located in the heart of Long Island’s Gold Coast region, we understand the unique challenges your vehicles face. Salt air, road debris, and harsh weather conditions demand more than basic car washes.
Our facility combines climate-controlled environments with professional-grade equipment and techniques. Whether you drive a weekend roadster or own a prized yacht, we deliver the precision and discretion that matches the caliber of assets we protect.
Your vehicle receives a thorough inspection first. We assess the paint condition, identify any imperfections, and determine the best approach for your specific needs. No surprises, no upselling – just honest evaluation.
Next comes the preparation phase. We decontaminate every surface using clay bar treatment and iron removal to ensure the cleanest possible foundation. This step separates professional detailing from basic car washes.
Paint correction follows if needed. We remove swirls, scratches, and oxidation using machine polishing techniques. Then we apply protection – whether that’s premium wax, sealant, or ceramic coating depends on your goals and budget.
Interior detailing happens simultaneously. Deep cleaning, conditioning, and protection for leather, fabric, and trim. Every surface gets attention, from dashboard to door jambs.

Our ceramic coating services utilize the latest formulations available in 2024. These aren’t the basic coatings from five years ago – today’s ceramic technology offers superior hydrophobic properties, enhanced scratch resistance, and UV protection that can last up to 10 years.
Yaphank’s location between New York City and the Hamptons means your vehicle faces unique challenges. Salt spray from nearby coastlines, road chemicals in winter, and intense summer UV exposure all take their toll on paint and interior surfaces.
High-performance car detailing requires understanding these local conditions. We use graphene-enhanced coatings for maximum durability, multi-stage paint correction to eliminate Long Island’s notorious swirl marks, and specialized products designed for the luxury vehicle market that dominates this area.
Complete auto detailing typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your vehicle’s size and condition. Paint correction adds time but delivers results that last years, not months.
We don’t rush the process because shortcuts show up immediately on high-end vehicles. Proper decontamination, paint correction, and ceramic coating application requires time to cure correctly. Most clients schedule their service over 1-2 days to ensure optimal results.
Same-day service is available for basic wash and wax, but comprehensive detailing with paint correction and ceramic coating protection requires our full attention and proper curing time.
Traditional wax lasts 3-6 months and sits on top of your paint. Ceramic coating chemically bonds with the paint surface and can protect your vehicle for 3-10 years depending on the product grade.
Ceramic coatings create a harder, more durable barrier against environmental contaminants. They’re hydrophobic, meaning water and dirt slide off more easily. This makes maintenance washing faster and reduces the risk of scratches from improper cleaning techniques.
The upfront investment is higher, but ceramic coating eliminates the need for frequent waxing. For luxury vehicles and exotic cars, it’s the difference between adequate protection and investment-grade preservation.
Yes, we specialize in high-performance and luxury vehicle detailing. Our techniques and products are specifically chosen for exotic cars, collectibles, and premium vehicles that require specialized care.
Exotic cars have unique paint systems, carbon fiber components, and interior materials that demand different approaches than standard vehicles. We use pH-neutral products, microfiber techniques, and temperature-controlled environments to prevent damage.
Many of our clients own Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and other high-end vehicles. We understand the investment you’ve made and treat every car accordingly. References available upon request.
With ceramic coating protection, most vehicles need professional detailing every 6-12 months. Without protection, every 3-4 months is recommended to prevent permanent damage from contaminants.
Yaphank’s coastal proximity means salt exposure year-round, not just winter. Regular maintenance washing between professional services extends the life of your paint and interior. We provide specific care instructions based on your protection package.
High-use vehicles or those stored outdoors may need more frequent attention. Garage-kept weekend cars can often go longer between services. We customize recommendations based on your specific situation and usage patterns.
Paint correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections through machine polishing. We use multiple stages depending on your paint’s condition – from single-stage enhancement to full multi-stage correction.
The process starts with paint depth measurement to ensure safe correction. We use various polish grades and pad combinations to gradually remove defects while preserving clear coat thickness. Each panel receives individual attention.
Results are immediately visible – your paint will have mirror-like clarity and depth. Paint correction is essential before ceramic coating application because it creates the perfect foundation for maximum bonding and longevity.
We offer mobile services for basic detailing, but paint correction and ceramic coating require our climate-controlled facility for optimal results. Environmental conditions affect curing and application quality significantly.
Mobile service works well for maintenance washing, interior cleaning, and basic protection. For investment-grade results on luxury vehicles, our facility provides dust-free application, proper lighting, and controlled temperature and humidity.
We do offer pickup and delivery service within the Yaphank area for clients who prefer the convenience. Your vehicle receives the same meticulous care at our facility, then returns to you in showroom condition.
