I am looking for a new 30inch long, 5/8inch diameter polished brass
rod to use with our existing towel bar hardware.

With brass, my concern is the quality and thickness of the brass
finish.

Any suggestions of reputable place to buy online?

Thanks

This is a great reference. My only concern is that the brass rod comes
unfinished.

I can always polish with something like Brasso, but how do I get a
"permanent" polished finish? (in the past, I have done things like
spray with acrylic, but it doesn't tend to give as smooth a finish)

So is there a way for me to give it a "permanent" finish myself, or
alternatively, is there a source for such pre-finished rod?

Thanks
