You’ll stop worrying about every bird dropping, salt spray, or UV ray hitting your paint. The coating creates a molecular bond that makes dirt and grime slide off with a simple rinse. No more weekly waxing sessions or watching your finish fade.
Your car or yacht stays cleaner longer, maintains its value better, and turns heads the way it should. The hydrophobic properties mean water beads up and rolls away, taking contaminants with it. What used to be hours of scrubbing becomes minutes of easy maintenance.
This isn’t temporary protection that washes away in a few months. You’re looking at years of defense against everything Long Island weather throws at your investment.
We’ve been protecting high-value assets for collectors and enthusiasts who understand that precision matters. Based in Port Jefferson Station and serving the Greenport area, we’ve built our reputation on treating every exotic car and luxury yacht like it’s our own.
Greenport’s maritime heritage means we understand the unique challenges your vehicles face here. Salt air, humidity, and harsh UV exposure from being near the water require specialized protection. We’re not just another detailing shop – we’re the team that exotic car owners and yacht captains trust when standard care isn’t enough.
Our climate-controlled facility and certified application process ensure your ceramic coating is applied under optimal conditions for maximum bonding and longevity.
First, we assess your paint’s current condition and perform any necessary paint correction to eliminate swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation. The coating only bonds properly to a perfect surface, so we don’t skip this step.
Next comes the deep decontamination process using specialized clays and chemical treatments to remove embedded contaminants that regular washing can’t touch. Your paint needs to be completely clean at the molecular level.
Then we apply the ceramic coating in our controlled environment, working panel by panel to ensure even coverage and proper curing. The coating chemically bonds to your paint, creating a new protective layer that’s harder and more durable than your original clear coat. After curing, you have a surface that’s glossier, more chemical resistant, and significantly easier to maintain than anything you’ve experienced before.

Your ceramic coating package includes multi-stage paint correction, professional-grade coating application, and detailed curing in our climate-controlled facility. We use marine-specific formulations for boats and yachts that are engineered to handle salt water, UV exposure, and the unique challenges of the Long Island marine environment.
For automotive applications, we offer graphene-enhanced options that provide even greater durability and self-healing properties. Every coating comes with proper preparation, application, and post-service care instructions to maximize your investment.
Greenport’s position on the North Fork means your vehicles face both marine and automotive environmental challenges. Our coatings are selected specifically for this dual exposure, whether you’re dealing with salt spray from Peconic Bay or road salt from winter driving. The protection scales with your needs – from weekend pleasure craft to daily-driven exotics.
Marine ceramic coatings typically provide 2-3 years of protection in saltwater environments, significantly longer than traditional waxes or sealants. The durability depends on your boat’s usage, exposure to elements, and maintenance routine.
Saltwater is particularly harsh on finishes, but quality ceramic coatings are specifically formulated to resist salt corrosion and UV damage. The coating creates a barrier that prevents salt from bonding directly to your gelcoat or paint, making cleanup much easier after each outing.
Regular maintenance with pH-neutral soaps will extend the coating’s life. Many Greenport boat owners find they can go an entire season with minimal maintenance while maintaining that showroom appearance.
Absolutely, especially for stored luxury vehicles. Even cars that sit in storage face threats from dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that can damage paint over time. Ceramic coating provides continuous protection whether you’re driving or storing your vehicle.
For exotic cars and collectibles, maintaining paint condition is crucial for value preservation. The coating prevents oxidation and makes routine cleaning much easier when you do take the car out. You won’t need to spend hours detailing before each drive.
Storage environments, even climate-controlled ones, can have airborne particles that settle on paint. The ceramic coating’s slick surface prevents these contaminants from bonding, so a simple rinse restores the finish to perfect condition.
Traditional marine wax sits on top of your paint and typically lasts 2-4 months before breaking down from UV exposure and washing. Ceramic coating chemically bonds to the surface, becoming part of your paint system and lasting years instead of months.
Wax requires frequent reapplication and provides limited protection against scratches, bird droppings, and chemical stains. Ceramic coating creates a harder, more durable surface that actively repels contaminants and provides superior scratch resistance.
The cost difference becomes negligible when you factor in labor and materials for frequent waxing over several years. Plus, the superior protection and ease of maintenance make ceramic coating the clear choice for serious boat owners.
Yes, but it requires expertise in both automotive and marine applications. The coating chemistry and application techniques differ between automotive paint and marine gelcoat surfaces. Marine environments also demand different preparation and curing processes.
At Legacy Motors and Marine, we specialize in both applications because many of our clients own both luxury cars and boats. We understand how Greenport’s marine environment affects both types of vehicles and adjust our processes accordingly.
The key is using the right coating formulation for each surface type and understanding how environmental factors like salt air affect both automotive and marine finishes. This dual expertise ensures optimal results whether you’re protecting a yacht or an exotic car.
Proper maintenance starts with using pH-neutral soaps and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods. The coating’s hydrophobic properties make cleaning easier, but you still need to wash regularly to prevent contaminant buildup.
For marine applications, rinse with fresh water after each saltwater exposure to prevent salt crystals from etching the coating. For automotive use, avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes that can damage the coating over time.
We provide specific maintenance products and detailed care instructions with every coating application. Following these guidelines can extend your coating’s life by 6-12 months and maintain its protective properties at peak performance throughout its lifespan.
Quality ceramic coatings come with warranties that cover manufacturing defects and premature failure. If properly maintained, coating failure is rare, but damage from impacts or improper cleaning can occur.
Minor damage often can be spot-repaired without redoing the entire surface. More extensive damage may require paint correction and reapplication of that section. We assess each situation individually to determine the most cost-effective solution.
The key is addressing issues early rather than letting them spread. Regular inspections during routine maintenance help catch potential problems before they become major repairs. This proactive approach protects both your coating investment and the underlying paint or gelcoat.
