Also try cross polarization.  Mount two flash units with polarizers oriented the same 
way.  Mount a polarizer on your lens at 90-degrees polarization.   Hopefully you have 
TTL cause your gonna lose a lot of light.  This technique is used to photograph 
paintings without getting glare.  Might work.  For the polarizers for the flash units, 
try a scientific catalog.

Maybe "surround" them with five or more light sources or reflectors,
then take the shot through a polarizing filter turned to polarize as
much as it can?
