project results: protection where it counts

01

STILL GLOSSY. STILL PROTECTED.
Four months into active rental rotation, every InduroPro-coated surface on the MTV-1100e is holding its finish — no peeling, no fading, no failure.
02

WASHED. WORKED. INDUROPRO HELD.
Multiple pressure washes and continuous jobsite use couldn't touch it — the ceramicized epoxy barrier stayed fully intact across every coated panel.
03

FLORIDA HEAT. ZERO FAILURES
Manny Valle confirmed it himself — InduroPro was not affected by the heat, and the coated sections show no signs of degradation after four months in Florida conditions.
04

THE UNCOATED SECTIONS TELL THE STORY
Ajax deliberately left sections bare as a control group — four months later, the contrast between coated and uncoated surfaces is exactly the proof of concept they were after.

4-MONTH FOLLOW UP — NOKOMIS, FL

WHAT INDUROPRO LOOKS LIKE AFTER FOUR MONTHS ON A WORKING RENTAL MACHINE

When Ajax Paving's team applied InduroPro to their MTV-1100e vibratory hammer, they made a deliberate choice — leave select body panel sections and decals uncoated as a long-term comparison baseline. Four months later, InduroPro team member Allen Ritter visited the machine on-site in Nokomis, FL to document the results. What he found was exactly what the original application promised. The coated sections were still holding a high-gloss finish. The uncoated sections told a different story.

The MTV-1100e had been through active rental rotation since the original application — multiple operators, multiple jobsites, and multiple pressure washes under Florida heat and UV exposure. Manuel Valle, TPR Coordinator at Ajax Paving, put it plainly: "This has been out for weeks and we even rented it out. InduroPro holds up. It was not affected by the heat, either." That confirmation, from a fleet coordinator who set up the test himself, is the clearest endorsement this follow-up could have.

BLACK SCREED PLATE FOLLOW UP

STILL SEALED, STILL HOLDING GLOSS

At original application, the black screed plate areas of the MTV-1100e were coated with InduroPro ceramicized epoxy after a powerwash and acetone wipe-down. On a machine this heavily used, black painted surfaces are among the first to show jobsite wear — abrasion, grime buildup, and UV exposure dull the finish and expose the substrate to moisture and oxidation over time.

Four months later, the InduroPro-coated black surfaces are still sealed and holding gloss. The ceramicized epoxy barrier has stood up to rental rotation, pressure washing, and continuous jobsite exposure without peeling, fading, or breaking down. The contrast against uncoated areas on the same machine is visible and unambiguous — InduroPro is doing exactly what it was applied to do.

YELLOW PAINT + DECALS

INDUROPRO DIDN'T JUST RESTORE THE YELLOW PANELS. IT PROTECTED WHAT'S ON TOP OF THEM TOO.

At original application, the MTV-1100e's yellow painted body panels were heavily UV faded and oxidized from years of Florida sun and jobsite exposure. InduroPro ceramicized epoxy restored the color depth and high-gloss finish across every coated panel without repainting. Four months later, that restored finish is still intact — holding color, resisting UV, and showing none of the chalking or oxidation visible on the uncoated sections of the same machine. But the panels aren't the only thing InduroPro protected. Decals coated under InduroPro are shielded from the UV radiation that causes fading, lifting, and cracking over time — keeping the machine looking sharp and professionally branded through active rental cycles. On equipment that represents a company in the field, that matters.

DID INDUROPRO PASS THE AJAX PAVING TEST?

FOUR MONTHS IN — THE PROOF OF CONCEPT IS COMPLETE

Ajax Paving didn't take InduroPro at face value. They set up a real-world test on one of their most active rental machines — applying InduroPro across the majority of the MTV-1100e while deliberately leaving select sections bare, then sending it back into rental rotation. Four months of Florida jobsites, pressure washes, and continuous use later, the results are documented and the conclusion is clear. The coated sections held. The uncoated sections degraded. The ceramicized epoxy barrier performed exactly as designed under the exact conditions that destroy standard paint on working equipment.

Manuel Valle's assessment after four months was direct: InduroPro held up through active rental use and was unaffected by Florida heat. For a TPR Coordinator whose job is managing equipment condition and resale value, that's not a casual endorsement — it's a professional evaluation from someone who built the test himself and watched it play out over a full rental cycle. The Ajax Paving MTV-1100e is one of the most transparent proof-of-concept demonstrations InduroPro has on record, and the four-month follow-up closes the loop on what the original application set out to prove.

WHAT DOES INDUROPRO MEAN FOR RENTAL FLEET OPERATORS?

PROTECT APPEARANCE, DEFEND RESALE VALUE, REDUCE REPAINTS

For rental fleet coordinators and equipment managers, the Ajax Paving follow-up answers the questions that matter most. Does InduroPro hold up under real rental conditions? Yes — four months of active rotation, multiple washes, and Florida heat produced zero coating failures across every treated surface. Does it protect paint and decals from UV fading? Yes — the coated yellow panels and decals on the MTV-1100e are holding color and gloss while uncoated sections on the same machine show visible degradation. Does it reduce the frequency of repainting? Yes — every rental cycle that passes without cosmetic degradation is a cycle that doesn't require resurfacing downtime or repainting cost.

InduroPro ceramicized epoxy coating is a single-application fleet protection strategy — applied once to properly prepped surfaces, it creates a durable, UV-resistant, corrosion-blocking barrier that holds up through the conditions that define rental equipment life. For operations managing high-use machines that cycle through multiple operators and environments, InduroPro protects appearance, supports resale value, and reduces the maintenance cost of keeping equipment looking field-ready. The Ajax Paving MTV-1100e follow-up is the proof. See the original application here.
