Professional Ceramic Coating Sound Beach

Protection That Lasts Years, Not Months

Your luxury car or yacht represents a serious investment. You need protection that matches that level of commitment. Our professional-grade ceramic coatings create a molecular bond with your paint or gelcoat that traditional wax simply can’t match. While most wax jobs last a few weeks or months, our ceramic coatings provide years of protection against UV damage, salt spray, road grime, and environmental contaminants. You’ll spend less time maintaining your vehicles and more time enjoying them. The difference is immediately visible. Your paint develops a deep, glass-like finish that repels water, dirt, and debris. Cleaning becomes effortless because contaminants can’t bond to the protected surface.

Ceramic Coating Application Process

Precision Application, Lasting Results

Real ceramic coating isn’t a quick spray-and-wipe job. Our process starts with thorough decontamination and paint correction to create the perfect foundation. We remove embedded contaminants, correct any paint imperfections, and ensure the surface is completely clean. Next comes the actual coating application. We apply the ceramic coating in thin, even layers in our climate-controlled environment. This eliminates dust, humidity, and temperature variables that can compromise the bond. The coating needs time to cure properly, which is why we never rush the process. After curing, we inspect every inch of the surface to ensure complete, even coverage. You’ll receive detailed care instructions and maintenance products specifically designed for ceramic-coated surfaces. Our entire process typically takes 2-3 days, depending on your vehicle’s size and condition.

Ceramic Coating Options Sound Beach

Automotive and Marine Solutions

We offer both automotive ceramic coating for luxury cars and marine ceramic coating specifically formulated for boats and yachts. Marine coatings face unique challenges – constant salt exposure, UV reflection off water, and temperature extremes that automotive coatings aren’t designed to handle. Our marine ceramic coatings are engineered for these conditions. They provide superior protection against salt-induced corrosion, prevent oxidation, and maintain their hydrophobic properties even under constant water exposure. For yachts and luxury boats, this means easier maintenance and preserved resale value. Sound Beach’s coastal location means your vehicles face salt air year-round, not just during boating season. Our coatings are specifically selected for Long Island’s climate, with enhanced flexibility to handle our temperature swings and superior salt resistance for both your car and boat.

How long does ceramic coating actually last on luxury vehicles?

Professional ceramic coatings typically last 3-7 years on automotive applications and 4-6 years on marine applications with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on the quality of the coating, application technique, and how well you maintain it. Unlike wax that breaks down in weeks, ceramic coatings form a semi-permanent bond with your paint or gelcoat. They don’t wash away or degrade quickly. However, they do require specific maintenance products – regular car wash soap can actually reduce their effectiveness over time. We provide you with the right maintenance products and detailed care instructions. Most of our clients find their vehicles stay cleaner longer and are much easier to wash than before the coating was applied.

Is ceramic coating worth it for boats in salt water?

Absolutely, especially for boats used in Long Island Sound’s salt water environment. Marine ceramic coatings are specifically formulated to handle constant salt exposure, which is one of the most damaging elements your boat faces. Salt doesn’t just cause corrosion – it bonds with your gelcoat and creates a rough surface that attracts more dirt and staining. Marine ceramic coatings prevent this bonding at the molecular level. Salt spray and water simply bead up and roll off instead of etching into your boat’s surface. The time savings alone justify the investment. Instead of spending hours scrubbing salt stains and oxidation, you’ll find that most cleaning can be done with a simple rinse and light wash. Your boat maintains that new-boat appearance much longer.

What's the difference between automotive and marine ceramic coatings?

Marine ceramic coatings are engineered for much harsher conditions than automotive coatings. They need to withstand constant water immersion, salt spray, UV reflection off water, and temperature extremes that cars never experience. Marine coatings have enhanced salt inhibitor technology and stronger hydrophobic properties. They’re also formulated to bond effectively with gelcoat, which has different properties than automotive paint. Using an automotive coating on a boat often results in premature failure. At Legacy Motors and Marine, we use the appropriate coating for each application. Your car gets automotive-grade protection optimized for road conditions and UV exposure, while your boat gets marine-grade protection designed for the unique challenges of the water environment.

How do I maintain ceramic coating properly?

Proper maintenance is simpler than most people think, but it does require the right products. Regular car wash soap contains detergents that can break down the coating over time. We provide pH-neutral maintenance shampoos specifically designed for ceramic-coated surfaces. The key is gentle washing with the two-bucket method – one bucket for soapy water, one for rinsing your wash mitt. This prevents you from dragging dirt across the coated surface. Most maintenance can be done with water alone since dirt and contaminants don’t bond as easily to the ceramic surface. We also provide maintenance spray coatings that can be applied every few months to refresh the hydrophobic properties. These aren’t necessary for protection, but they help maintain that just-detailed appearance between professional services.

Can ceramic coating be applied over existing paint protection?

This depends entirely on what type of protection is currently on your vehicle. Ceramic coating needs to bond directly with the paint or gelcoat to be effective, so any existing wax, sealant, or coating must be completely removed first. We start every ceramic coating job with thorough decontamination and paint correction. This removes all existing protection products, embedded contaminants, and any paint imperfections. It’s actually an advantage – you get a completely fresh start with the best possible foundation. If you have paint protection film (PPF), ceramic coating can actually be applied over it for additional protection and easier maintenance. The ceramic coating helps the PPF stay cleaner and makes it more resistant to staining and yellowing over time.

Why does ceramic coating cost more than traditional wax?

The cost difference reflects the dramatic difference in durability, protection level, and application complexity. A professional wax job might last 2-3 months and costs $200-400. Ceramic coating lasts 3-7 years and provides superior protection, making the cost per year of protection actually lower. Our application process is also much more involved. We spend hours on paint correction, decontamination, and precise application in controlled conditions. The materials themselves cost significantly more than wax – professional ceramic coatings can cost $100-300 per bottle before any labor is added. Consider it an investment in your vehicle’s long-term value and your time. You’ll spend far less time maintaining your vehicles, they’ll look better longer, and they’ll retain more of their value when it’s time to sell or trade.
