Lazy! Can I just put Zaino without doing all the steps

I have Zaino at home. I used it once, 4 layers took me for than 12 hrs! And I did all the steps.
Now I am lazy. My car is very well kept, in garage. wash and wax every week and drive only 2 days a week.

Can I just put Zaino on top after normal car wash?
And can I apply Zaino every week like wax?

I'm not sure I quite understand your question...you can absolutely put Zaino on after wash. What else were you doing? Here is my Zaino process:

Wash, apply Zaino(takes about 10-15 minutes to do whole car), let dry 1/2 hour, buff off(takes about another 15 minutes. If you're going to do another layer immediately, just make sure to add ZFX in and you can repeat immediately. If not, wait a day before applying another coat. You can apply every week, but that would probably be overkill. If you've already started with 4 layers, you shouldn't need to do more than every 4-6 weeks. More never hurts though...I do it monthly...

I don't have Zaino on my car now.
Last time I used it was 2yrs ago. But I use trutle ice polish all the time on the car.

Can i apply Zaino on top of the trutle wax?

If you're going to the trouble of washing weekly and then waxing weekly why are you even asking the question? Do the job right as per Zaino instructions. Anything else is a waste of time and money and won't get the results. Proper preparation is the key to almost any kind of job.

You can apply zaino over ice. There won't be any bonding issue. Also you could apply it after washing the car.

i'm a big fan of zaino but since you want to apply Zaino every week or every other week, than why dont you look at waxing ? it will provide more shine than a sealant...

Then what about durability. He might want sealant for that.
