You want biggish light sources, preferably a pair of studio lights with pan reflector and diffuser. I don't know if it makes a difference which side of the diffuser the polarizer is on, but you need them to be in aimed the same direction. Experiment a bit to determine if having the camera filter at 90° to the strobe is best. Sometimes complete cross polarization leaves the subject a bit dead looking. I used this lighting method for shooting copy work many years ago with terrific results.
