    Title suggestions for first e-book?

    Title suggestions for first e-book?

    If you've ever read any of the titles for some of my articles you can tell I'm title-challenged...


    Here's some examples...

    How to break open a coating of wax and remove it by creeping out...

    Kissing the Finish

    The Rule of Thumb

    Fight or Flight Method for Gaging Surface Temperature

    Fresh Paint - But you can touch it...

    The Lesson White Paint Teaches Us

    The story of 3 H's - Horrendous, Horror Story and Hack Detailers...

    The power in the after shots is created in the before shots

    The Cruel Test Spot - This or that? - Reverse Bait & Switch

    Your Signature - Don't leave one...



    So I thought I would start a thread to see if any of my forum friends have any suggestions... I'm a HUGE fan of brainstorming.

    The goal is to pick a title that tells a person what the book is about so they'll know it's something that will help them when detailing their car or stepping up from working by hand to working by machine.

    Dedicated to the DA Polisher
    The topic of this first e-book is specifically how to use a DA Polisher to buff out a car. This would include these tools and any other similar tools,

    • Porter Cable 7424XP and all previous versions
    • Meguiar's G110v2 and all previous versions
    • Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher
    • Shurhold Dual Action Polisher
    • Kestrel DAS-6
    • DAS-6 PRO
    • DeWALT DW443


    It's very detailed and covers pretty much anything anyone new to machine polishing would want and/or need to know to get professional results the first time and every time.

    There's lots of tips and techniques for experienced DA users too...


    Here's a few ideas I've typed out... the last three are in part branding as I've seen other authors of how-to books on this topic have titled their books.



    • Detailing for Newbies
    • DA Polishers for Newbies
    • Learn to machine polish for a show car shine
    • How to machine polish your from top to bottom
    • How to restore a factory new finish
    • How to restore a show car finish
    • Detailing your car made easy
    • The fast and easy way to detail your car
    • The art of polishing paint with a Dual Action Polisher
    • How to polish your car's paint by machine
    • How to create a show car finish on your car
    • The lazy man's guide to detailing your car
    • How to machine polish your car by Mike Phillips
    • How to detail your car by Mike Phillips
    • How to use a DA Polisher to create a show car shine by Mike Phillips


    Here's my article on branding if you haven't read it...

    Brand Yourself, Brand your Forum Nickname and Brand your Business Name


    Giving due credit where credit is due...
    There are places where I reference some of our forum members for their tips in this e-book.

    How about "How To Detail...The Right Way!" or "The Detailers Detail to Detailing"

    The first how-to book I self-published was titled "The Art of Polishing Paint by Mike Phillips" with a subtitle.

    Since this is a series with the first on on the DA Polisher here's how this could work...


    The Art of Polishing Paint by Mike Phillips
    A User's Guide for the DA Polisher

    Including,
    • Porter Cable 7424XP and all previous versions
    • Meguiar's G110v2 and all previous versions
    • Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher
    • Shurhold Dual Action Polisher
    • Kestrel DAS-6
    • DAS-6 PRO
    • DeWALT DW443


    And then Yancy would add some cool graphics.



    Then the next one could be titled,

    The Art of Polishing Paint by Mike Phillips
    A User's Guide for the Rotary Buffer


    and so on...


    Again... just brainstorming at this point.

    "The Art of Polishing" Sounds good to me.
