Hear from Our Customers
Your luxury vehicles and marine vessels face relentless challenges in the Hamptons environment. Salt spray from the ocean, intense UV reflection off the water, and constant exposure to elements that can cost you thousands in repairs and depreciation.
With professional ceramic coating, you get a molecular-level barrier that bonds permanently to your surfaces. This isn’t temporary protection—it’s a 9H hardness shield that repels water, dirt, and contaminants while maintaining that deep, glossy finish you expect from premium assets.
The result? Dramatically reduced maintenance cycles, enhanced resale value, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your investment is truly protected. Your vehicles stay cleaner longer, wash easier, and maintain their showroom appearance year after year.
We serve the discerning collectors and enthusiasts of Sagaponack who expect more than basic service. Based in nearby Port Jefferson Station, we’ve built our reputation on understanding the unique challenges luxury asset owners face in the Hamptons environment.
Living in one of the wealthiest zip codes in America means your vehicles represent more than transportation—they’re investments, statements, and often irreplaceable pieces of automotive or marine history. We treat them accordingly.
Our climate-controlled facility and professional-grade ceramic coating systems are specifically chosen for their ability to protect against the harsh coastal conditions that make the Hamptons beautiful but challenging for luxury surfaces. When you trust us with your exotic car or yacht, you’re working with specialists who understand both the technical requirements and the emotional significance of what we’re protecting.
Real ceramic coating protection starts with proper preparation. We begin with a thorough assessment of your vehicle’s surfaces, identifying any existing damage, oxidation, or imperfections that need addressing before coating application.
Next comes our multi-stage paint correction process. This isn’t optional—ceramic coatings magnify whatever’s underneath, so we ensure your surfaces are flawless first. We remove swirl marks, light scratches, and any oxidation using professional-grade compounds and polishes.
The coating application happens in our climate-controlled environment, free from dust and contaminants that could compromise the bond. We apply the ceramic coating in thin, even layers, allowing proper cure time between coats. For marine applications, we use specialized formulations designed to handle saltwater exposure and intense UV reflection.
After curing, your surfaces have a permanent protective layer that’s harder than your original clear coat, completely hydrophobic, and engineered to maintain its properties for years, not months.

Our ceramic coating services cover every aspect of your luxury vehicles and marine vessels. For automotive applications, we protect paint, wheels, trim, glass, and interior surfaces with coatings specifically formulated for each material type.
Marine ceramic coating requires different chemistry than automotive applications. The constant saltwater exposure, higher UV intensity from water reflection, and different surface materials like gel coat and fiberglass demand specialized formulations. We use marine-grade ceramic coatings that resist salt corrosion, prevent fouling, and actually reduce drag for improved performance.
In Sagaponack’s coastal environment, your assets face unique challenges. The salt air accelerates oxidation, UV rays reflect intensely off nearby water surfaces, and the humid conditions create perfect environments for corrosion. Our ceramic coatings are specifically chosen to handle these conditions while maintaining the deep gloss and hydrophobic properties that make maintenance effortless.
Whether you’re protecting a vintage Porsche, modern Ferrari, classic yacht, or contemporary sport fishing boat, we have the right coating system and application expertise to ensure lasting protection and enhanced appearance.
Marine-grade ceramic coatings applied professionally can provide 15+ years of protection in saltwater environments when properly maintained. The key difference between automotive and marine ceramic coatings is the specialized chemistry designed to resist salt corrosion and handle constant moisture exposure.
Unlike automotive coatings that might fail quickly in marine conditions, true marine ceramic coatings bond permanently to gel coat and fiberglass surfaces. They create a barrier that prevents salt from penetrating surface pores while maintaining hydrophobic properties that cause water to bead and roll off.
Your coating’s longevity depends on maintenance quality and environmental exposure, but properly applied marine ceramic coating will significantly outlast traditional wax or sealant options while providing superior protection against UV damage, oxidation, and fouling.
Professional ceramic coating products contain higher silicon dioxide concentrations and require specialized application conditions that aren’t achievable in typical DIY settings. Consumer products are formulated to be spray-friendly, which means lower solids content and reduced durability.
Professional application happens in climate-controlled environments free from dust and contaminants that can compromise the coating bond. We also complete proper paint correction first—ceramic coatings magnify surface imperfections, so starting with flawless surfaces is crucial for optimal results.
The preparation process alone typically takes longer than most DIY coating applications. Professional installers have access to products not sold to consumers, specialized equipment for proper surface preparation, and the training to handle different surface materials correctly. This translates to dramatically longer-lasting protection and better appearance results.
Yes, but different formulations are required for optimal results. Automotive ceramic coatings work well on painted metal surfaces but aren’t designed for the harsh marine environment or porous gel coat surfaces common on boats.
Marine ceramic coatings contain specialized chemistry to resist saltwater corrosion, handle constant moisture, and bond properly to fiberglass and gel coat. They also provide enhanced UV protection against the intense reflection from water surfaces that boats experience.
At Legacy Motors and Marine, we stock both automotive and marine-specific ceramic coating systems. We select the appropriate product based on your specific application, surface materials, and exposure conditions. This ensures you get maximum durability and protection regardless of whether we’re coating your exotic car or luxury yacht.
Marine ceramic coating can actually improve boat performance by reducing drag through the water. The coating creates an extremely smooth, slick surface that allows water to flow more efficiently around the hull, reducing surface tension and drag.
Testing shows that properly applied marine ceramic coating can increase speed at cruising RPMs due to reduced surface friction. This improved efficiency can translate to better fuel economy and enhanced performance, especially noticeable on larger vessels.
The hydrophobic properties also prevent marine growth and fouling from adhering as readily to treated surfaces. This keeps your hull cleaner longer, maintaining optimal hydrodynamics between cleanings. For performance-oriented boat owners, ceramic coating delivers both protection and measurable performance benefits.
Ceramic coating dramatically simplifies maintenance but doesn’t eliminate it entirely. The hydrophobic surface causes dirt and contaminants to bead up and wash away easily, reducing cleaning frequency and effort required.
For automotive applications, regular washing with pH-neutral soap is sufficient. Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes that can scratch the coating. For marine applications, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure when possible, and use marine-specific cleaning products designed for coated surfaces.
The self-cleaning properties mean you’ll spend significantly less time maintaining your vehicles while achieving better results. Most clients report 60-70% reduction in cleaning time and frequency. Professional inspection and potential touch-ups every few years ensure continued optimal performance, but day-to-day maintenance becomes remarkably simple.
For luxury vehicle owners, ceramic coating provides measurable return on investment through reduced maintenance costs, enhanced resale value, and superior asset protection. The cost of professional ceramic coating is typically recovered within 2-3 years through reduced detailing expenses alone.
Luxury vehicles command premium resale values, and maintaining original paint and surface quality is crucial for preserving that value. Ceramic coating prevents the oxidation, fading, and micro-scratching that inevitably occurs with traditional protection methods.
In Sagaponack’s coastal environment, the protection becomes even more valuable. Salt air accelerates corrosion and UV damage, making unprotected surfaces deteriorate faster. Professional ceramic coating provides peace of mind that your significant automotive or marine investments are properly protected against these environmental threats while maintaining their showroom appearance.
