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.-

I want to thank everybody who responded. I may just try the stuff!

Camguard is conceptually the additive package that I designed for the
Exxon Elite oil. It contains 11 additives and is 100% active. It
prevents rust/corrosion and deposits, reduces wear and conditions
seals.

I was the director of the engine laboratory at Exxon Research and
Engineering
and performed the initial research on the Elite oil. Exxon management
decided to copy the Aeroshell oil. When I left Exxon I was asked to
formulate Camguard.

Thank you! I just received four pints and am going to put some in both
my airplane and my vintage Porsche.

Camguard is really useful for older cars, as you get a substantial corrosion inhibiting boost and anti-wear protection superior to ZDDP.
