This isn't much help but you can get some stuff to prevent the build up of flys, try speaking to Polised bliss.

If you get enough coats of protection (wax or sealant) on the car it's easy to get flies off with just normal washing suds. As always, it's down to prevention rather than cure. Fly removing potions do the job no doubt but they also strip all of the protection off the paint... meaning the bugs just stick more next time. Vicious cycle, and proper protection pays.
