Default Liming and re seeding a lawn

...
Due to extensive moss coverage, more than 60%, on my front lawn, and about
50% on the back lawn, I have used both the granule feed/weed and
mosskiller, then a few weeks later I used the soluble mosskiller only from
a watering can.
I have now removed almost all the dead moss, and my plan was to spike the
ground with a fork to aerate it. Then I was going to sprinkle lime all
over both lawns, leave it for a few weeks then dress and re seed both
lawns. The reason for this is because there are a number of bumps and
hollows so it really needs levelled out a bit.
Would this method be ok, and do I need to make sure that ALL the dead moss
is removed before I do anything else?

Thanks


Reseed and top dress wouldnt bother with liming an annual dose of iron would
be more beneficial
