Default Reflections on windshield

How can I get rid of the reflections on the front windshield from the top of dash when recording video from a harness bar mounted camera?

Will a polarizing filter help?

Don't use amour-all on the dash.

My race cam has a sun shade that is adjustable for this purpose. Here is a example. You can see the sun shade line just above the windshield.

Default Armor All

Who would consider using Armour All on the dash?

Problem is that even using a low glare non silicon protectant like Aerospace 303 there is glare.

So can a camera buff answer the question: will a circular polarizer help cu the glare?
