Your luxury car or yacht represents more than transportation—it’s a statement, an investment, a piece of your story. When you choose professional ceramic coating, you’re not just adding shine. You’re creating a molecular barrier that keeps your vehicle looking exactly as it should: pristine.
Ceramic coating transforms how your paint interacts with the world. Water beads and rolls away instead of leaving spots. UV rays can’t penetrate to fade your finish. Road grime and salt spray slide off with a simple rinse. Your vehicle stays cleaner longer, needs less maintenance, and holds its value better.
This isn’t about making something look good for a few months. This is about automotive ceramic coating for luxury cars and marine ceramic coating for yachts that lasts years, not weeks. Protection that works whether you’re cruising Long Island’s coastal roads or navigating the waters around Selden.
We serve Selden and the greater Long Island area with one clear mission: protecting what matters most to those who value performance, craftsmanship, and prestige. We don’t just apply coatings—we preserve legacies.
Based in Port Jefferson Station, our facility was built specifically for high-value assets. We understand that exotic vehicles, luxury boats, and prized yachts require more than basic care. They demand precision, protection, and respect. That’s exactly what we deliver.
Long Island’s coastal environment presents unique challenges. Salt air, intense UV exposure, and temperature swings can damage unprotected surfaces quickly. We’ve seen what happens to vehicles that don’t receive proper protection, and we’ve perfected our approach to ensure yours never faces that fate.
Every ceramic coating project starts with thorough surface preparation. We assess your vehicle’s current condition, perform any necessary paint correction, and ensure every surface is perfectly clean and ready for coating application. No shortcuts. No compromises.
Next comes the coating application itself. We use professional-grade ceramic and graphene coating options that bond at the molecular level with your paint or gelcoat. This isn’t a spray-on product that wears away in months. This is a semi-permanent protective layer that becomes part of your vehicle’s surface.
The final step is curing and quality inspection. Depending on the coating system, this process can take several hours to complete properly. We don’t rush this phase because proper curing determines how long your protection will last. Once complete, you’ll receive specific care instructions to maximize your coating’s lifespan and performance.

Our ceramic coating services cover both automotive and marine applications with long-term paint preservation technology. For luxury cars and exotic vehicles, we offer multi-year protection packages that include paint correction, ceramic application, and ongoing maintenance support. These coatings provide superior scratch resistance, UV protection, and hydrophobic properties that keep your vehicle looking showroom-fresh.
Marine ceramic coating for yachts requires specialized formulations designed for harsh saltwater environments. Our marine-grade coatings protect against oxidation, UV damage, and the constant assault of salt spray that Long Island boaters face. Whether you own a weekend cruiser or a luxury yacht, we have coating solutions engineered specifically for marine durability.
We also offer graphene coating options that represent the latest advancement in surface protection technology. Graphene coatings provide enhanced durability, superior heat dissipation, and even better hydrophobic properties than traditional ceramic formulations. For Selden area clients who demand the absolute best protection available, graphene represents the cutting edge of coating technology with unmatched paint protection and deep gloss finish.
Professional ceramic coatings typically last 3-5 years on automotive applications when properly maintained, though some premium formulations can provide protection for up to 10 years. The longevity depends on several factors including the specific coating system used, the quality of surface preparation, and how the vehicle is maintained after application.
In Selden’s coastal environment, ceramic coatings face additional challenges from salt air and UV exposure. However, this is exactly why ceramic protection becomes even more valuable here. The coating creates a barrier that prevents these environmental factors from reaching your paint directly.
Regular maintenance washing and annual inspections help maximize coating lifespan. We provide specific care instructions and can perform maintenance services to ensure your coating continues performing at its peak throughout its entire service life.
Graphene coating represents the next evolution of ceramic protection technology. While traditional ceramic coatings provide excellent protection, graphene coatings offer enhanced durability, superior heat dissipation, and even stronger hydrophobic properties. Graphene is literally one atom thick, making it incredibly strong yet flexible.
For marine applications, graphene coatings typically provide 2-3 years of protection compared to 1-2 years for traditional ceramic formulations. The enhanced heat dissipation properties are particularly beneficial for boats, as they help prevent gel coat degradation from intense sun exposure during Long Island summers.
Both coating types protect against UV damage, oxidation, and environmental contamination. However, graphene coatings also offer anti-static properties that help repel dust and airborne particles, keeping your boat cleaner between washings. The choice often comes down to budget and desired longevity, with graphene representing the premium option.
Ceramic coating investment varies significantly based on vehicle size, surface condition, and coating system selected. Automotive applications typically range from $1,500 to $3,500 for complete vehicle coverage, while marine applications can range from $2,000 to $6,000 depending on vessel size and complexity.
The initial cost includes thorough surface preparation, paint correction if needed, professional coating application, and curing time. Higher-end graphene coating systems command premium pricing but offer enhanced durability and performance characteristics that justify the investment for luxury vehicle owners.
We always provide detailed quotes after inspecting your specific vehicle. Factors like existing paint condition, desired coverage areas, and coating system selection all influence final pricing. Remember, professional ceramic coating is an investment in long-term protection and value retention, not just an expense.
Yes, but marine and automotive applications require different coating formulations and application techniques. Marine environments are significantly more challenging, with constant exposure to salt water, UV radiation, and temperature extremes. Marine-grade ceramic coatings contain higher concentrations of protective polymers to withstand these harsh conditions.
Automotive ceramic coatings are optimized for road conditions, including protection against road salt, UV exposure, and environmental contaminants like bird droppings and tree sap. While the basic technology is similar, the specific formulation and application process differ between automotive and marine applications.
At Legacy Motors and Marine, we maintain separate product lines and application procedures for automotive and marine clients. Our technicians are trained in both applications, ensuring your luxury car receives automotive-specific protection while your yacht gets marine-grade coating designed for saltwater environments.
Long Island’s coastal environment requires specific maintenance approaches to maximize ceramic coating performance. Salt air exposure means more frequent washing is beneficial, ideally every 2-3 weeks during peak boating season. Use pH-neutral wash products and avoid automatic car washes that can damage the coating surface.
For marine applications, fresh water rinse after each use is essential to remove salt deposits before they can cause damage. Pay special attention to areas where salt spray concentrates, such as windshields and metal fixtures. Monthly deep cleaning with coating-safe products helps maintain optimal hydrophobic performance.
Annual professional inspections allow us to assess coating condition and perform any necessary maintenance procedures. We can apply booster treatments if needed and address any areas where the coating may have been compromised. Proper maintenance extends coating life significantly and ensures continued protection for your investment.
Ceramic coating can be applied to virtually any hard surface on your vehicle or vessel. For automotive applications, this includes paint, clear coat, glass surfaces, wheels, plastic trim, and even headlights. Each surface type may require specific coating formulations optimized for that material.
Marine applications offer even broader possibilities. Gel coat, painted surfaces, metal fixtures, glass, and even some fabric surfaces can receive ceramic protection. Modern coating systems are versatile enough to protect everything from your yacht’s hull to its upholstery, though different products are used for different materials.
The key is matching the right coating system to each surface type. Our technicians assess each surface individually and select appropriate products and application techniques. This comprehensive approach ensures every protected surface receives optimal coating performance and longevity, creating uniform protection across your entire vehicle or vessel.
