Default ASL CamGuard?

OF I just saw an ad for ASL CamGuard and wonder if anyone out
OF there has any experiences with this product that they would
OF like to share.

Aviation Consumer tested it favorably:

"The middle ground--and it's admittedly vast--is the 60 hour-a-year
owner who needs the airplane for three hours each December through
March. CamGuard is the clear winner here, since its performance is
nearly as good as the dedicated storage oils, it's cheaper and allows
normal operation.

Thus far, we've been impressed with CamGuard and we're using it in our
own airplane. As we go to press this month, CamGuard is on the verge
of obtaining FAA approval. Frankly, that doesn't impress us much but
some buyers want the FAA imprimatur. Approved or not, we think it's a
good product."

OF Is it just a detergent

No. Detergents aren't used in aviation engines.

OF does it have lubricating properties, such as TCP has?

No. TCP isn't a lubricant. CamGuard is an anti-corrosion additive, not
a lubricant.
