Hey everybody, I'm new to the site and just here looking for tips on how to keep my truck looking good. It's an 04 silverado and since I'm in South Georgia, it gets pretty muddy and dirty on the regular haha.

Hi Tanner,

Welcome to AutogeekOnline!


Hate to sound like a broken record in the "Introduce Yourself" forum but here goes...

If you want some tips or information on how to do "anything", the best thing to do is

Start a dedicated thread for the topic.


Right now the title of this thread reads,

New Guy From South GA



We have a lot of really nice forum members that make it a practice to "welcome new members", it's the polite thing to do.

Here's the deal though, I judge which threads I will click on, read and perhaps reply to by the title. Since I like to welcome people I see "intro threads" with detailing questions.


Lots of people don't click on "intro threads" so you won't get their help for your questions.

Now if you introduced yourself in this "forum group", and then went to one of the topical forum groups and started a thread with a title like,

Tips wanted for keeping my 2004 Silverado Pickup clean?


Then all the people, like me, that read titles, would know what you are asking for help with and you will get,

• More replies
• Better replies

That's how forums work... see for yourself. Click to the forum homepage and running down the middle are the most "Recent Threads". Read the titles and I'm sure some of them will "interest" you.

See what I mean? The title of a thread tells you if "you" want to click on it and read it and perhaps reply to it.

Right now the title to your thread reads,

New Guy From South GA


That title doesn't tell anyone what kind of vehicle you own or what kind of info you're looking for...


Just some friendly tips from a guy that's been posting to vBulletin forums since the software was introduced commercially in 2002. (and yes, I have an article on that).

Check these out too.....

How to write a good title for your thread

A tip to help yourself get great answers when you start a thread



And again, welcome to the forum, I too have a Silverado...

1987 Chevy 4x4 Monster Truck "Before & After" Pictures


Here's the before pictures from the extreme makeover to my personal daily driver. The condition of the paint is exactly how it was when I purchased the truck. These picture were taken AFTER I washed and dried the truck, so any staining of the paint is actually a physical stain in and on the paint, not simply water drops or water smears after washing and drying.


Fair Warning --> This is going to hurt your eyes...

Thanks everybody!

And Mike, I understand what you are saying about my post. I wasn't actually asking for any tips in this thread, but I see why you thought i was and how that was confusing. I guess I was just stating why I joined the site becuase I know I can get all the tips I need just by reading through other threads. But I appreciate the links and the help.

And your truck looks amazing, you did a great job with it. Im very jealous
