We have acted as special California counsel to Chemical Methods Associates, Inc. (“CMA”) and Chemical Methods Leasco, Inc. (“CML” together with CMA, the “Guarantors”), each of which is a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of JohnsonDiversey, Inc. (“Issuer”), a Delaware corporation, in connection with the offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to US$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, Series A (the “Dollar Notes”) for US$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, Series B (the “Dollar Exchange Notes”) and up to EU€225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, Series A (the “Euro Notes” together with the Dollar Notes the “Notes”) for EU€225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, Series B (the “Euro Exchange Notes,” together with the Dollar Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”).

Each of the Guarantors has agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Issuer under the Exchange Notes (collectively, the “Guarantees”) pursuant to the terms of the Indentures.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the following: (1) copies of the Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, and Written Action of the Board of Directors in Lieu of a Meeting dated May 1, 2002 of CMA, each of which was certified by the Secretary of CMA; (2) copies of the Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Written Action of the Board of Directors in Lieu of a Meeting dated May 1, 2002 of CML each of which was certified by the Secretary of CML; (3) copies of the Indentures including the form of guarantee attached thereto certified by the Secretary of each of the Guarantors; (4) a certificate from the Secretary of each of the Guarantors as to certain facts; (5) a Certificate of Status Domestic Corporation dated September 26, 2002 from the Secretary of State for the State of California for each of the Guarantors; and (6) the applicable laws of the State of California.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

a. Based solely upon and as of the date of the Certificate of Status Domestic Corporation dated September 26, 2002 from the Secretary of State for the State of California for each of the Guarantors, the Guarantors are corporations duly incorporated and validly existing under California law.

c. The execution and delivery by the Guarantors of the Indentures has been authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Guarantors.

d. The execution and delivery by the Guarantors of the Guarantees has been authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Guarantors.

This opinion is rendered only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the Exchange Offer in the manner described in the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Issuer, and we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to such Registration Statement.
