Imaging the Moon assistance please. Polarizing Filter?

Took a picture of the Moon a while ago with the QHY8 (stacked). It was a part Moon and the results were good. I wanted to do the same again with the full Moon but found that I could not get the QHY settings (exposure Time) low enough to not get an overexposed image. Could I use a Poarizing filter to assist in this matter or will it mess up my colours?

I am wanting to do a saturated moon shot with the data. With a partial Moon I got away with it, but the full moon is just too bright. Once I start adding saturation in slow steps I get burnouts in the already too bright areas..

Any assistance would be a great help

Regards
Mardy
