If it was in the pipes, handwashing would do it too.

Dishwasher detergent does not contain abrasive substances; dissolve a teaspoon of it in a glass of hot water and see for yourself.

I’m not convinced because I can run pellets over a surface by hand and not scratch it, yet a shot blast will strip paint off easily.

Same substances with different processes produce different results.
