Are you sure you are not working on Aluminum Oxide.... Try some rubbing
compound like 3M Perfectit II ( at Trac Auto or NAPA, I find heavy cut is
about like Rolite pre polish)  If you get black after a few rubs, you are
working on the aluminum.... no black then some kind of coating....

I have been using Strip Eze from Savogran in the semi paste (flows like
ketchup) and that will definitely cut clear coat....after a few minutes the
coat will start to bubble....no bubble, its not the regular clear coat....I
have heard of , but have no experience with some other coating processes...
If it were something other than an Airstream, I would suspect
anodizing...There was a military process that was discussed briefly some
time ago and who knows, someone might have had the connections to try it....

Good Luck

paint white like the new units....
