OK, I don't know exactly what that bottom gadget is, but I'm sure as hell not going to Google "M22-Adapter".

The bottom gadget - M22 adapter and all - is a foam gun.

Sheesh...I feel so lame. I just pull out the hose and fill up a bucket with Meguiars Ultimate, put on the wash mitt and manually wash the car. Guess I'm old school....

Did use the blue sponge?? I was schooled to use only a natural sea sponge.

Yeah, I hear you. I was on the fence, but this no-name version was $20, and it will hopefully motivate my lazy ass to pull out the pressure washer for every car wash - the water savings between using the pressure washer and the hose is significant, and we (California residents) are fixin' to get BONED with water rate increases over the next few years.

So if you still have to fill a bucket and scrub the damn thing, WTF is the point of the foaming???
