This might come across as a bit wonky (harkening back to my photographic undergraduate days) but when dealing with polarizers and reflective surfaces, the angle at which light is most attenuated will vary according to the surface material. Glass and water, for instance, have different angles for maximum reflection reduction. For glass, it's about 57°. Also, because different colors of light will have slightly different angles, you cannot eliminate all reflections from white light. Hope this helps.
