Most carbon frames have the decals under the clearcoat, so the only way to truly remove the decals is to strip off the clearcoat (not recommended). If you want your ride to be decal-less, get it repainted.

yeah, I'm working on removing the annoying "warning: read the owners manual before riding" sorts of decals that are plastered all over it, which are over the clearcoat. I'm okay with the manufacturer/model stuff.

A hair dryer on a medium setting will soften the adhesive to allow you to pull off those warning stickers. Then a little Goo-Gone or similar to remove any remaining traces of adhesive.
