Ok, so I've been reading all the replies on this. And from what people
are saying, I'm lead to believe that scratches on the non-label surface
have no effect on the ability of the CD to be read? This goes totally
against my experience with CDs, so I'd appreciate someone clarifying this.

I'm under the assumption that I'm going to rub Colgate on the non-label
side of my CD and then rub it circularly until the scratches are
diminished.
