Well you could certainly try a polarizing filter, but the problem then is that a polarizer also acts as a neutral density filter, requiring exposure compensation to the tune of about 1.5 to 2 stops. If you're using TTL metering and autofocus, you'll probably find that they're unreliable in low-light situations anyway. Adding a polarizing filter might tip them over the edge completely, in which case you'd need to rely on manual metering and focussing.
