It's not a bleaching action.
My wife is a chemical engineer. What's going on is a pretty complicated altering of the plastic.

Come to think of it, my Robot Masters R-Blade and WST Red Alert could use a soaking...
Say, how would this work on red plastic? One of my Primes is looking a bit orange these days...

Well, that may have been your problem: the Oxy Clean. I'm not sure I would have proceeded without getting some 30% H2O2. El Duque did mention just using straight hydrogen peroxide. So while I do sympathize, I'm not sure I would have used the Oxy Clean.
