Professional Paint Protection San Remo

What Happens After We're Done

Your exotic car rolls out with a finish that looks better than showroom new. Water beads and rolls off like it’s afraid to touch the surface.

It’s an investment that deserves protection worthy of its caliber. Your maintenance routine becomes simple. Wash times cut in half. That deep, liquid gloss stays locked in for years, not months.

Ceramic Coating Experts San Remo

We Know What You're Protecting

Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving San Remo’s discerning car and yacht owners who understand the difference between storage and preservation. Our climate-controlled facility in Port Jefferson Station was built specifically for people who expect more than just a parking space. We’ve seen what happens when luxury vehicles aren’t protected properly. Salt air from the Long Island Sound, UV exposure, and road contaminants don’t care how much you paid for that paint job. That’s why we treat every ceramic coating application like we’re working on our own prized possession. Our team knows the unique challenges of protecting high-value assets in this coastal environment. When you’ve invested serious money in something beautiful, you want it handled by people who get it.

Ceramic Coating Process San Remo

How We Actually Do This Right

First, we inspect every inch of your vehicle’s surface. If there are imperfections—and there usually are—we address them with multi-stage paint correction before any coating goes on. This isn’t optional. Ceramic coating seals in whatever condition your paint is in, so we make sure that condition is flawless. Next comes the prep work, which is where most of the time goes. Your vehicle gets thoroughly decontaminated and prepped in our climate-controlled environment. No dust, no humidity fluctuations, no shortcuts. The ceramic coating application happens in controlled conditions with professional-grade products. We apply multiple layers when needed, allowing proper curing time between each. After the final cure, your vehicle gets a comprehensive quality inspection before it’s ready for pickup. The whole process takes time because it’s done right. You’ll get progress updates and photos so you know exactly what’s happening with your investment.

About Legacy Motors & Marine

Marine Automotive Ceramic Coating

What's Actually Included

Every ceramic coating service includes complete paint correction to eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation that would otherwise be sealed under the coating. Your vehicle gets professional-grade ceramic protection that bonds at the molecular level—not the spray-on stuff you can buy at auto stores. For marine applications, we use coatings specifically formulated for the harsh conditions your yacht faces. Salt spray, UV exposure, and constant moisture require different protection than what works on cars. We know the difference and apply accordingly. San Remo’s coastal location means your vehicles face unique challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion and UV damage. Our ceramic coatings are selected specifically for Long Island’s environment, providing protection that actually lasts in these conditions. You get hydrophobic properties that make cleaning easier, plus UV resistance that prevents fading and oxidation. Each application comes with proper documentation and warranty coverage, because protecting your investment means standing behind our work.

How long does ceramic coating actually last on luxury cars and yachts?

Professional-grade ceramic coating lasts 2-5 years on vehicles and up to 7 years on marine applications, depending on the product and conditions. This isn’t the 6-month protection you get from consumer-grade products. The longevity depends on proper application and maintenance. Marine environments are tougher on coatings than automotive use, but quality marine-specific formulations handle salt spray and UV exposure much better than automotive coatings. We select the right product for your specific application and environment. Your coating will maintain its hydrophobic properties and gloss throughout its lifespan when properly maintained. That means occasional washing with pH-neutral soap and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.

Can ceramic coating fix scratches and swirl marks on my paint?

No, ceramic coating cannot repair existing paint defects. It seals in whatever condition your paint is currently in, which is why proper paint correction is essential before application. We perform multi-stage paint correction to eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation before any coating goes on. This process involves carefully removing a microscopic layer of clear coat to level the surface and restore that deep, mirror-like finish. Once the paint correction is complete and the ceramic coating is applied, your paint will be protected against future damage. The coating provides a sacrificial layer that takes the abuse instead of your actual paint, but it won’t fix problems that already exist.

What makes professional ceramic coating different from DIY products?

Professional coatings use different chemistry and require controlled application conditions that aren’t possible in your driveway. Consumer products are designed for ease of use but sacrifice durability and performance. Professional-grade coatings bond more aggressively to the surface and contain higher concentrations of active ingredients. They also require specific temperature and humidity conditions during application and curing. Our climate-controlled facility ensures optimal conditions every time. The prep work is equally important. Professional application includes complete paint decontamination, correction of defects, and surface preparation that determines how well the coating bonds and performs. DIY kits skip most of this because it requires specialized equipment and expertise.

Is ceramic coating worth it for boats kept in saltwater?

Absolutely, especially for boats in saltwater environments. Marine ceramic coatings provide essential protection against salt spray, UV damage, and the constant moisture that accelerates deterioration of gel coat and painted surfaces. Saltwater is incredibly corrosive and will break down traditional waxes and sealants in weeks, not months. Marine-specific ceramic coatings are formulated to handle these harsh conditions and maintain their protective properties for years. The hydrophobic surface also makes it much harder for salt, algae, and other contaminants to bond to your hull. For yacht owners in the Long Island area, ceramic coating is particularly valuable because of our exposure to both saltwater and intense summer UV. The coating prevents oxidation, fading, and the chalky appearance that develops on unprotected gel coat over time.

How much does professional ceramic coating cost for luxury vehicles?

Professional ceramic coating typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the vehicle size, condition, and level of paint correction needed. Marine applications can be higher due to the larger surface areas and specialized products required. The cost reflects the extensive prep work, professional-grade materials, and controlled application environment necessary for proper results. Paint correction alone can take 8-16 hours depending on the vehicle’s condition. Cheaper alternatives exist, but they don’t provide the same level of protection or longevity. Consider this an investment in preserving your vehicle’s value rather than an expense. Quality ceramic coating maintains your paint’s condition and can actually increase resale value, especially on high-end vehicles where paint condition significantly impacts worth.

Can I wash my vehicle normally after ceramic coating?

Yes, but proper washing technique becomes even more important to maintain the coating’s performance and longevity. The good news is that ceramic coating makes washing much easier and faster. Use pH-neutral car soap and avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes that can scratch the coating. The hydrophobic surface means dirt and grime don’t stick as aggressively, so you’ll need less scrubbing and can often rinse most contaminants away with water alone. For marine applications, regular freshwater rinses help remove salt deposits before they can cause problems. The coating’s slick surface makes this much more effective than on unprotected gel coat. Avoid harsh cleaners, degreasers, or abrasive compounds that can damage the coating’s protective properties.
