One thing that works great for cleaning and for removing scratches is Brasso, strange as it sounds. You put a tiny bit on a cloth and then rub in a circular motion, and it should be fine for both the back and the front.

The important thing to remember when cleaning iPods, regardless of the cleaning product you use, is to use as soft a cloth as possible. Otherwise, you will get scratches (using such things, for example, as paper towels and ordinary rags).
