Don't bother. If they wanted you to remove the stickers, they would
be removable. Do price the replacements though. It will give you an
incentive to be careful with the ones you have.

Don't all manufacturers have similar stickers on their visors?

That's the stuff. It's a good non-residue contact cleaner (although I prefer
the residue type for potentiometers, with Stabilant 22a being the best).
When I worked in avionics we used LPS contact cleaner by the case. I agree -
I doubt it would remove the stickers. In fact, I suspect the stickers are
"ironed on" or otherwise permanently attached for the legal reasons others
have mentioned.

If they are legally required to put them on, and make them big and
yellow and ugly, then I'll forgive Honda for it; but if they are not
required by law to put them on permanently, then it is a very poor
decision to do so.
