Hear from Our Customers
Your Ferrari stays mirror-perfect through Long Island winters. Your yacht’s gelcoat repels salt spray like it’s brand new. Water beads and rolls off in seconds, taking dirt with it.
That’s what happens when you stop settling for wax that lasts three months. Real ceramic coating creates a molecular shield that bonds permanently to your paint—harder than factory clear coat, glossier than showroom condition.
Your investment stays protected. Your time stays yours. No more monthly detailing appointments or constant worry about paint damage.
Legacy Motors and Marine was built for one purpose: protecting what matters most to those who value performance, craftsmanship, and prestige. We’re not another detailing shop trying to upsell you.
Based in Port Jefferson Station, we’ve earned the trust of exotic car collectors and yacht owners across Long Island who understand the difference between adequate and exceptional. Our climate-controlled facility and certified application process ensure your assets receive the same precision you’d expect from a museum-grade restoration.
We don’t just apply ceramic coating. We preserve legacies.
First, we perform a complete surface analysis and paint correction to eliminate any existing imperfections. Your paint needs to be flawless before we lock in that condition permanently.
Next comes the precision application. Our certified technicians apply multiple layers of professional-grade ceramic coating in a controlled environment. Each layer bonds at the molecular level, creating an invisible shield that becomes part of your paint’s surface.
The curing process takes 24-48 hours under controlled temperature and humidity. Once complete, you have a surface that’s harder than steel, more hydrophobic than Teflon, and glossier than the day your vehicle left the factory. The coating is now permanently bonded—it won’t wash away, fade, or require reapplication for years.

Our ceramic coating services cover every surface that matters. Paint, wheels, glass, trim, leather, and marine gelcoat all receive the same molecular-level protection.
For automotive applications, we use professional-grade formulations specifically engineered for Long Island’s challenging climate—from road salt in winter to UV exposure in summer. Your exotic car gets the same protection used on million-dollar supercars.
Marine applications require specialized ceramic coatings designed for saltwater environments. Our yacht and boat coatings prevent oxidation, reduce drag, and make hull cleaning effortless. Whether you’re protecting a weekend cruiser or a luxury yacht, the coating bonds permanently to gelcoat and marine paint surfaces.
Every application includes comprehensive surface preparation, professional installation, and documentation that appears on your vehicle’s history report.
Professional-grade ceramic coating lasts 5-10 years with proper maintenance, unlike traditional wax that breaks down in 2-3 months. The coating bonds permanently at the molecular level, creating a protective layer that can’t be washed away.
The durability depends on the specific product and number of layers applied. Our premium packages use multiple coats of certified ceramic coating that maintain their hydrophobic properties and gloss retention for years. You’ll see the same water-beading performance and scratch resistance on year five as you did on day one.
This isn’t a coating that gradually wears away. It’s a permanent modification to your paint’s surface that only requires periodic maintenance with pH-neutral products to perform optimally.
Marine ceramic coating is specifically formulated to handle saltwater, UV exposure, and the harsh conditions that destroy regular automotive coatings. The chemistry is different—marine coatings have enhanced corrosion resistance and stronger bonding agents for porous gelcoat surfaces.
Saltwater creates unique challenges that automotive coatings can’t handle. Marine-specific formulations prevent salt crystallization, reduce algae adhesion, and maintain their protective properties in constant moisture. The coating also reduces surface tension, making your hull more efficient through the water.
Application requires specialized surface preparation for marine environments. Gelcoat is more porous than automotive paint, so we use higher-concentration ceramic coatings with modified curing processes. The result is protection that handles everything from Caribbean sun to Long Island Sound conditions.
Ceramic coating provides excellent resistance to minor scratches, swirl marks, and environmental damage, but it’s not bulletproof. The coating creates a sacrificial layer that’s harder than your original clear coat, so minor contact affects the coating instead of your paint.
The coating excels at preventing damage from washing, bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and UV exposure. It also makes your vehicle much easier to clean safely, reducing the risk of creating new scratches during maintenance.
However, ceramic coating won’t prevent rock chips, key scratches, or major impact damage. For complete protection against physical damage, we recommend combining ceramic coating with paint protection film on high-impact areas like front bumpers and hoods.
Professional ceramic coating for exotic cars typically ranges from $2,000-$5,000 depending on the vehicle size, condition, and coating package selected. This includes complete paint correction, multi-layer application, and years of protection.
The investment makes sense when you consider the alternatives. Premium wax jobs cost $300-500 every few months, adding up to thousands annually. Paint correction to fix damage from inadequate protection can cost $3,000-8,000. A single repaint on an exotic car often exceeds $15,000.
Ceramic coating is a one-time investment that preserves your paint in perfect condition for years. When you factor in the time saved on maintenance, protection against costly damage, and preservation of resale value, professional coating pays for itself quickly.
You can wash your ceramic-coated vehicle normally, but the process becomes much easier and safer. The hydrophobic surface means dirt and contaminants don’t bond as strongly, so they rinse away with minimal effort.
Use pH-neutral car soap and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools. The coating’s slick surface means you need less pressure and agitation to achieve better results. Most owners find they can maintain perfect results with simple rinse-and-dry cycles between proper washes.
Avoid automatic car washes with brushes or harsh detergents, as these can gradually diminish the coating’s performance. Hand washing or touchless systems work perfectly. The goal is preserving the coating’s hydrophobic properties, which maintain the self-cleaning effect and gloss retention that make ceramic coating so effective.
Ceramic coating is especially valuable for saltwater boats because salt creates the harshest conditions for marine surfaces. Salt crystallization, constant moisture, and UV reflection off water accelerate oxidation and surface degradation faster than any other environment.
Marine ceramic coating prevents salt from bonding to your gelcoat, reduces algae growth, and maintains gloss despite constant exposure to corrosive conditions. The coating also reduces drag, improving fuel efficiency and performance. Most owners see immediate improvements in how easily their hull cleans and how long it stays clean.
The investment makes financial sense for saltwater boats. Gelcoat restoration can cost $10,000-30,000 depending on vessel size. Annual detailing and waxing costs add up quickly. Ceramic coating provides multi-year protection that maintains your boat’s appearance and value while reducing ongoing maintenance costs and time.
