Hello All.

For the past few years I've wondered why you see round splotches on windows while wearing polarized sunglasses. More expensive cars have smaller, more compact sets of splotches. I've offered extra credit to students who could find the answer - none succeeded.
I just tried to find something on Google with no success. Can anyone explain this?

Thanks in advance, Eric Plett.
