Sorry, this is way out of our area - we are cosmetic chemists. The only thing that I can suggest is that you get in touch with the major silicone suppliers (Dow Corning, GE, ShinEtsu) and see if they have prototype formulas.

Although…from my cosmetic chemistry experience, I know that it’s almost impossible to make a silicone/water emulsion without using a silicone emulsifier. You’re just throwing your money away trying to use lecithin.

Have you contacted the supplier of your silicone oil? Also, it would help if you posted your whole formula. Like @bobzchemist said lecithin will not work & we are more cosmetic chemists.

Have a look at Dow Cornings website. They have starting formulations for all sorts of automotive polishes.

If you want a milky sprayable polish also have a look at stainless steel polish and furniture polish formulations for ideas.
