It depends. If the content is not damaged then you can probably "wipe" them.
I mean, look at the printed side: if there are scratches there chances are
the data is damaged as well and you may be out of luck (depends on whether it
affects the catalog).
However, if the printed surface is not terribly damaged, and the problem is
that the mirror-looking side is scratched then your data may be healthy and
it is surface irregularity that distorts the laser. There are kits out there
that can wipe the surface and render it again smooth. I used one such kit
several years ago with good results. Casually, it's on the shelf in front
of my eyes now.. lemme see... It says
CURTIS disk restore. Radial scratch repair and cleaning system for
CD/DVD discs. www.curtis.com
According to the box it will not repair gauges, deep scratches, label-side
damaging or warping.
