Default removing candle wax from CD (recorded side!)

Perhaps you read the OP's mind and 'know' on which side he spilled the
wax.

I don't have to read the OP's post. It's in the subject line.

But it can be amgiguous for those not in the know.

The side without the label is where it's read, and until you know
otherwise, that would likely be called the "recorded side". The
fact that the plastic is thinner on the label side than the blank
side may not be obvious to many people. Obviously the actual data
layer is more vulnerable from the label side, but I doubt the average
person knows that.

Hence, I'd say most would call the "recorded side" the one away from
the label.
