Professional Ceramic Coating Oakdale

What Real Protection Actually Looks Like

Your vehicle or vessel stays cleaner longer. Water beads and rolls off like it’s supposed to. Salt spray, UV rays, and daily contaminants can’t penetrate the surface. You spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying what you own. The coating bonds at a molecular level, creating a permanent protective barrier that outlasts traditional waxes by years, not months. Your paint maintains that deep, glossy finish that turns heads and preserves value. This isn’t just surface-level protection. It’s a complete defense system that keeps your investment looking exactly how it should—flawless.

Oakdale Marine Ceramic Coating

Specialists in High-Value Asset Protection

At Legacy Motors and Marine, we understand what it means to own something extraordinary. Located in the heart of Long Island’s boating and automotive community, we’ve built our reputation on protecting the vehicles and vessels that matter most to discerning owners. Our facility specializes in premium storage and protection services for exotic cars, luxury boats, and yachts. We know that in Oakdale’s marine environment, where saltwater and UV exposure are constant threats, standard protection simply isn’t enough. That’s why we use only professional-grade ceramic coatings applied by our certified technicians who understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s coastal conditions.

Ceramic Coating Application Process

Precision Application for Lasting Results

First, we perform a complete surface assessment and any necessary paint correction to ensure the coating bonds properly. This step is crucial—any imperfections get sealed under the coating if we skip it. Next, our certified technicians apply the ceramic coating in controlled conditions using professional-grade products designed specifically for marine and automotive applications. The coating chemically bonds to your paint or gelcoat at a molecular level. After curing, you get a permanent protective barrier that’s harder than your original clear coat. The surface becomes hydrophobic, self-cleaning, and resistant to UV damage, salt corrosion, and environmental contaminants. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days depending on your vehicle’s size and condition.

About Legacy Motors & Marine

Marine Automotive Ceramic Protection

Complete Protection for Every Surface

Our ceramic coating service covers all exterior surfaces—paint, gelcoat, metal trim, wheels, and glass. For marine applications, we protect both above-water and below-waterline surfaces against Long Island’s harsh saltwater environment. Oakdale’s location on the Great South Bay means your boat faces constant exposure to salt spray, algae, and UV radiation that can cause serious damage over time. Our marine-grade ceramic coatings create a barrier that prevents salt corrosion and makes hull cleaning significantly easier. For automotive applications, we focus on paint protection that maintains that showroom finish while defending against road salt, UV fading, and environmental contaminants common to Suffolk County’s coastal climate. The coating reduces drag on marine vessels and enhances gloss on automotive finishes, delivering both performance and aesthetic benefits.

How long does ceramic coating last on boats in saltwater?

Professional marine-grade ceramic coatings typically last 2-5 years in saltwater environments, depending on the specific product and maintenance routine. The harsh conditions around Oakdale—constant salt exposure, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations—make proper application and quality products essential. Higher-end coatings with graphene technology can extend protection up to 7 years. The key is proper surface preparation and using coatings specifically formulated for marine environments, not automotive products adapted for boats. Regular maintenance with pH-neutral soaps designed for ceramic coatings will maximize longevity and performance.

What's the difference between ceramic coating and traditional boat wax?

Ceramic coating forms a permanent chemical bond with your boat’s surface, while wax sits on top and washes away over time. Traditional marine waxes need reapplication every 3-6 months, especially in saltwater environments. Ceramic coatings cure to a hardness rating of 9H, making them significantly more durable than wax. They’re also hydrophobic, meaning water and contaminants can’t penetrate the surface like they can with wax. The initial investment is higher, but ceramic coating eliminates the ongoing cost and labor of regular waxing while providing superior protection against salt corrosion, UV damage, and environmental staining.

Can ceramic coating be applied to both cars and boats?

Yes, but marine and automotive applications require different formulations and techniques. Marine ceramic coatings are specifically engineered to handle saltwater exposure, constant moisture, and the unique stresses of marine environments. Automotive ceramic coatings focus more on road contaminants, UV protection, and maintaining gloss under different conditions. Using the wrong type can result in poor performance or premature failure. Our technicians are certified in both marine and automotive ceramic coating applications, ensuring your specific vehicle or vessel gets the right protection for its environment and usage patterns.

How much does professional ceramic coating cost for luxury vehicles?

Professional ceramic coating for luxury cars typically ranges from $1,500-$5,000 depending on the vehicle size, coating system, and level of paint correction required. Marine applications for yachts can range from $3,000-$15,000 based on vessel size and surface area. The investment includes proper surface preparation, professional-grade materials, certified application, and warranty coverage. While the upfront cost is significant, it eliminates ongoing waxing expenses and helps maintain your vehicle’s resale value. We provide detailed quotes after inspecting your specific vehicle or vessel, as every application is unique based on condition, size, and protection requirements.

What maintenance is required after ceramic coating application?

Ceramic-coated surfaces require minimal maintenance compared to traditional protection methods. Use pH-neutral soaps designed for ceramic coatings—avoid harsh detergents or acidic cleaners that can degrade the coating over time. For marine applications, rinse with fresh water after each use to remove salt deposits. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, and use proper wash techniques with clean microfiber towels to prevent scratching. Annual inspections help identify any areas that might need touch-up or reapplication. With proper care, ceramic coatings maintain their protective properties and appearance for years without additional treatments.

Does ceramic coating work in Long Island's harsh winter conditions?

Professional ceramic coatings are specifically designed to handle temperature extremes, including Long Island’s harsh winters with road salt, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles. The coating’s chemical bond doesn’t break down from temperature changes like traditional waxes can. For marine applications, ceramic coating protects against salt corrosion during winter storage and makes spring cleaning significantly easier. The hydrophobic properties prevent ice and snow from bonding strongly to the surface. Road salt is particularly damaging to vehicles, but ceramic coating creates a barrier that prevents salt from reaching your paint. This protection is especially valuable for luxury and exotic vehicles that represent significant investments.
