The Venom Hybrid is the original flagship pad that changed the entire stone industry and made 3-step polishing pads mainstream. Developed in 2008, this pad became the foundation that every Venom pad was later built from — and still remains one of the strongest, most reliable, and highest-gloss 3-step systems on the market today.

Brent DeCinque, the designer behind Venom Pads, believed in the Hybrid so deeply that he gave away 10,000 free sets during a 2017 Facebook campaign — a campaign credited for bringing 3-step technology into the mainstream worldwide.
Today, the Venom Hybrid remains the standard that many companies try to copy, but none match.
