i'm not sure this was mentioned, but scalping will allow your green to shine thru better by not having any leftover brown grass standing tall in competition. you could say that if you keep your grass at 3 inches normally, then it would be ideal to scalp to 1". if you keep it at 2 inches, you would want to scalp at 0.5". i keep my mower at 4", so i could get away with 1.5" , but i will scalp at 1". i will do some controlled burning in the backyard just for funsies. lol

Been following your advice and my grass is an even tan right now in San Joaquin Valley of Calif. My neighbor has already started mowing weekly as our grass was mostly nut sedge, dandelion, spurge, crab grass, etc. I cut short and put 0-0-7 down on superbowl weekend. We are having a couple of days of 70 each week now but still having frost at night. After using Image in fall (November), The kids helped me rake up all the dead weeds in January. So, after my long-windedness, do you suggest using a thatch rake after it greens up? My green mower won't cut close to the dirt. Thanks, BYD, for helping me. I know my neighbors think I'm a crazy single mom! Most are retired using lawn service providers, but a few are like me but are just letting the weeds be their green lawn.
