It looks as if my goldfish have Ich.
If any of the tropical tank fish have it, I use a Interpet Anti Whitespot
product, but what's used for ponds ?

It's a very small 6' x 4' x 2' pond with lots of plants and a waterlily

Salt at 0.3% will take care of ich, but your plants won't like it. Better
to treat the goldfish in a quarantine tank and get it's immune system up.
It probably got the ich if your water temperatures have been fluctuating.
Ich is almost always in the water, and most fish fight it off, stress will
cause them to come down with it. Salting to 0.1% when the temps are going
up and down can help a stressed fish and won't hurt (the vast majority of)
plants. ~ jan
