Can any of u guys point me towards a good polish to get rid of small chips etc in the car. I don't really want to use a cut and polish too often, how often do you reccommend using a polish.

i use glide on glaze to get a good shine after a wash, but it doesn't get scratches etc out, it is just for shine :) Shine is good :)

use meguiars paint cleaner if u want to take off very very light scratch or marks from the paint. or stains, swirls etc. paint cleaner is good stuff. else use meguiars scratch X, i haven't had the need to use that, but i heard it works pretty well. like a lite cut n polish. i wouldn't use any of this stuff too often. i only use paint cleaner like once every few months.

What can you use to get out small scratches in a double din head unit to make it look like new again?

I used toothpaste.. yes, toothpaste! (non-gel kind of course!) It's almost like a VERY fine cream cleanser...

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
