Possible ear infection or water in ear.

A few days ago I noticed one of our babies ears was a red/pink color more so than the other. He had a good amount of wax build up which I cleaned out "usually do this once a week". It has been about two days now since and it still seems to be irritated. My GF took him a bath a few days prior to his ear getting like this could she of gotten water in it? causing this? any suggestions of what I should do before running him to the Vet?

Yes, this could be water in the ear. If water goes into the ear, there is no way to get it out, which causes infection. I would clean it once or twice a day for a few days with ear solution, squirt a vigorous amount into the canal and massage the ear, then wipe dry. If you do not see any improvement within a few days or if your bully is noticibly bothered by the ear, then I would go ahead and take her to the vet.
