Rob,

I don't really know, you need to discuss it with a modern Airstream
owner. I would think that you need to remove the clearcoat back to
where it is firmly attached to the aluminum, polish the uncoated area
and then apply a new clearcoat.

I don't know anyone who is an expert on the new clad clear coat. What I would do is carefully remove the clear coat that is no longer bonded to the aluminum. Then clean the bare aluminum and if necessary polish it with a cleaning car polish (going with the grain, straight sideways). Airstream parts department sells a spray can of clear coat… it's not a permanent thing and would need to be redone once a year or so but it should make the spot almost invisible.
Good luck and as always YMMV,
