I used to use CO2 & found it better than argon mix if the metal was rusty, more tolerant of the dirt & grot. I rebuilt a VW type 2, plenty of dirt & grot on that, I changed to argon mix halfway through & noticed the difference as I had to get it cleaner.

I had an elderly mk1 Golf & one of the rear lights always filled with water, I cured that …… drilled a hole in the bottom of the light, never filled up again.
