Default Any way to repair damage to clear-coat?

I notice that just above my headlights, there is a spot where a rock has hit and damaged the clear-coat. It does not look like there is any damage to the paint itself (i.e., no paint chip), but it looks like there is a clear plastic film that is broken. I am guessing that this is the clear coat? Is there anything I can do to repair the damage? This is just above the headlights, so I don't know if it is actually metal or plastic underneath. Thanks.

I had one of these on a M/C. If you're any good with a power buffer, try this first. Otherwise, you can put on some clear coat the same way you do with color touch-up and go the wet sand route.

So is touch-up "clear coat" available from Honda like touch-up paint? Do I need to match color codes (I assume not)? I already have the touch-up paint for my car, but since there is no damage to the paint itself in this case, I didn't want to try it. Would it work using the colored touch-up paint? Thanks.
