This is correct. The T is silent in Griot's and Rupes is pronounced as though it were a two syllable word.

One Zee eye-n tset in-duss-tree rain-igger <- - careful with that last part, run it together quickly, emphasize rain. There will be a phlegm clearing roof of mouth sound on the R in the word rain.

Gummi = Rubber
Pflege = Care

Eins = One
Zett = Zee

so the description of a onesee was spot on.

Industry = Industrial (in this case)
Reiniger - Cleaner

I guess the Germans don't feel the need to translate the product names, the German cars we put the stuff on understand it correctly. :props:
