Default Fly poop

Hi all my car is lunar gold and it attracts the flies which crap all over the car leaving tiny dark dots everywhere. I've spent hours washing,mopping sealing admiring my work(thinking wow that looks pukka) only to find next morning its covered in dark spots again. Anyone know of any products that will deter the blighters,missus car is silver and the same.
Serious replies please.

If it’s anything like the stuff that gets on mine, it’s orangey brown spots up to 1/4” across, slimy when new, but which harden. Doesn’t seem to harm the paintwork like bird poo, thankfully.
