As noted above it's situational and pola effectiveness varies depending on the angle of the light source, light quality, etc.

Worth noting mirrorless cameras do not require a circular polarizer; a simple linear pola works on them and those can be more effective than CPs. They also have a lower filter factor than all but a few CPs.

Having shot cars with polas I find they're typically effective but not always. Windshields especially are tricky because they're a glass and plastic sandwich that itself is a polarizing element, frequently creating goofy patterns.

Keep experimenting!
