Can someone who has installed tints on their front windscreen, check using polarized glasses and confirm ?

Sorry for adding to an old post. I need some info on the effect on polarized glasses on tinted windows. Allow me to narrate my experiences first:

* When I use my wife's normal sun glasses and look through the tinted glasses (Garware) of my i10, I can easily see other cars and their respective tinted glasses.

* When I use my polarized sun glasses and look through the tinted glasses (Garware) of my i10, the effect is suddenly different. When I see other cars, their respective tinted glasses have a sort of psychedelic colours (vivid rainbow colours) and I can easily make out those windshield tints of oncoming cars due to these vivid colours from my sun glasses.

* The boot window tint reflects colourful dots that appear from the polarized sun glasses.

* This vivid rainbor colour only shows when I use my polarized glasses to see through a tinted glass. There are no vivid colours from my polarized sun glasses when the tinted windows are down.

* I went to the optician's showroom to narrate this "problem" and the sales persons simply smiled and reassured my that this "issue" is largely due to the polarized sun glasses. They claim that this effect is indeed beneficial.

Now is this true? Can someone corroborate or throw more light on my situation? Many thanks.
