I am a car photographer, I encounter a lot of reflections after I am editin or in the moment of shootin. Would a simple polar pro polarizer solve my problem somewhat? I look for angles in the moment to where the sun doesn’t bounce off onto me as well as heavy reflections. Such as people, myself, and buildings that can be spotted in the paint on the car.

    Are you dealing with cars outside lit by the sky or indoors under artificial lights. Polarizers will cut down reflections if the reflections are polarized, but while reflections from the blue sky are substantially polarized. Indoor lights will be much less polarized. The sun itself isn’t very polarized but the blue sky (which does cause a lot of reflections) is however it will be more polarized 90 degrees to the sun than it is 180 degrees to the sun, so a polarizer will work best if the sun is to your left or right and not in front or behind the camera.
