there are proprietary anti spatter compounds available which you spray on the areas of concern that allow any deposited spatter be easilly removed. The product we used was called Protec available from a German company however there are probably a few similar products available now. Try contacting any chemical supply company in your area or go surfing on the Net.
One of the more interesting things I've heard of as an anti-spatter coating is a ceramic glaze. We heard about it from Rumble Automation (Missasauga, Ontario). They claim it works well and is very durable. I don't think it's something you can apply yourself but it seems like a good bet for high-volume production fixtures.
