Core aeration, top dressing, Meso & ryegrass overseeding

Hey guys
I core aerated last week and removed the plugs. Tomorrow I plan on applying Meso followed immediately by leveling soil, sand and compost mix and then seeding perennial rye. From what I read Im guessing that order is fine?
Also, I’ve been striping my lawn twice a week which is compacting my soil. Would applying Wetter on a regular basis fix this over time? Im struggling to get the lawn a deep green colour.
Thanks, I have done a bit of reading but just want a bit of reassurance so I dont butcher my lawn.

    I would go over the top of the introduced soil with the Meso to capture any weed seeds in the soil, even through as soon as the roots hit the Meso they should die. The Wetter won't fix the compaction but with the coring that will help. Iron is what you want for colour when you don't want to push lots of growth but atm it's a perfect time for Liquid Boost as you get a dual green up from the Nitrogen and the Iron in that product. It's always going to be limited by the type of seed as to how dark it'll go. The MDR is awesome for dark colour.
