Althoug it would be better for the kayak to be protected and not left
on the car, we do not have a garage (we live in a townhouse). In the
winter, they are stored in a friend's basement.

Buy or make a cover for the kayak. You can leave it on the kayak
and paddle while it is on the car. That would keep the sun off it.

Several people mentioned wet-sanding. Is that just what it sounds like
- making the paddle wet and then sanding it?

Yes - you should keep wetting the paddle while you sand it. That will
keep down the dust, help prevent the sandpaper from clogging and
provide a smoother finish than dry sanding. You'll have to buy
sandpaper made for wet sanding.
